Train driver Jacques Lantier becomes involved with the seemingly innocent, sensuous Severine when he lies to protect her from implication in a murder.Summary: La grande illusion: Based on a true story from World War I, this powerful film tells of an attempted escape from a German prison of three French soldiers. Working-class Marechal, middle class Rosenthal and aristocratic Boieldieu are held in a fortress by German Commandant, von Rauffenstein. Through the relationships between the characters, Renoir shows how class is reaffirmed and transcends the social chaos of war.Summary: Le crime de Monsieur Lange: "A fugitive couple, Amédée Lange and Valentine, rent a room in a small hotel on the Belgian border. In the bar the other guests wonder if Lange is the murderer being chased by the police. Valentine tells Lange's story so that the guests can decide for themselves if they should let him get away..."--Container.
