Notes:
Two short films originally produced in 1944 and released by the British Film Institute in 1993. The films feature a group of exiled French actors known as the Molière Players. Filmed at Welwyn Studios, with the co-operation of French writers, actors and technicians serving in Britain.
Two short films made by Hitchcock in 1944 at the request of the British government. When viewed by government officials they decided that the films were inflammatory and withheld them from distribution. The first, Bon voyage, is about an RAF pilot who has escaped from a POW camp and made his way back to London with the help of the French resistance. The second, Aventure Malgache, is set in Vichy-controlled Madagascar where the Resistance leader battles to keep his island free.
