- there wasn't a room for him.

- That's all right.

- Enjoy your breakfast.

- Thanks.

- Good morning, Miss Chauvelot.

- How are you this morning?

- Fine, thank you.

- I've almost finished.

- What a lovely day!

- Lovely and hot, you mean!

Here!

It's for Lieutenant Miller.

- Thank you, Miss Chauvelot.

- Goodbye.

They're servile and meticulous too.

If we were like them,

we'd have won the war.

Bother! I've broken a nail.

- What were you saying, Mother?

- That I've broken a nail.

You've been drinking, Pierre.

- Alcohol is bad for you.

- I just had a drop.

It's nice in here

out of the heat

Outside, it's like being

in Saigon.

- How's it going, young man?

- Fine, Mr. Tonin.

Don't you think he looks like

Paul?

Just a little.

Paul was thinner.

Read me the post, Mother.

"Gentlemen of the Gestapo,

as a grain dealer and...

...medal of valour holder,

I wish to inform you...

...of the suspicious trafficking

of a man called Louvelle Etinne.

- Not only does he..."

- Come on!

Keep walking!

I've brought you Commander Voltaire

while he's still warm.

He was in bed,

sleeping like a baby.

The little angel had some flyers

on his bedside table:

"The Germans are retreating

on all fronts...

...and soon, you will be free

in a free France."

The could at least ask us

our opinion.

I don't want to be freed

by the Jews, for example.

I have my rights too, don't I?

- Peyssac, listen...

- Be quiet, you scoundrel!

Welcome to our offices,

Mr. Peyssac.

Bring him upstairs.

I'll join you shortly.

- Shall I start working him over?

- No, wait for me.

You know, I never did like

teachers.

If you don't need me.

I'm going to take a shower.

Teachers are all Communists.

Are you a Communist too?

- What will you do to him?

- We'll have a little chat.

We must find a job for

this boy.

He can help me

open the letters. Here!

You just have to do like this.

You go on ahead.

"I wish to bring

to your attention...

...that Mrs. Lebeaufe,

the milliner, often receives...

...visits from her two sons who

are draft dodgers and Communists."

- "No later than yesterday..."

- No, read another one.

"Sir, as a practicing Catholic,

I consider the black market...

...shameful for a Franchman

and a Christian."

That's enough! Aren't there any

serious matters this morning?

Yes. A protest

from the Prefect's office...

...following the disappearance

of Dr. Pradine.

Forget it, Mother.

Where are they going to look for

Dr. Pradine?

I'm going to deal with Voltaire.

Are you Mr. Tonin's mother?

Of course not!

What a silly question!

Do you get many like this?

We receive about 200 a day.

One came from a man who wrote

in to report himself!

Louis Malle

Louis Marie Malle (French: [mal]; 30 October 1932 – 23 November 1995) was a French film director, screenwriter, and producer. His film Le Monde du silence won the Palme d'Or in 1956 and the Academy Award for Best Documentary in 1957, although he was not credited at the ceremony with the award instead being presented to the film's co-director Jacques Cousteau. Later in his career he was nominated multiple times for Academy Awards. Malle is also one of the few directors to have won the Golden Lion multiple times. Malle worked in both French cinema and Hollywood, and he produced both French and English language films. His most famous films include the crime film Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (1958), the World War II drama Lacombe, Lucien (1974), the romantic crime film Atlantic City (1980), the comedy-drama My Dinner with Andre (1981), and the autobiographical film Au revoir les enfants (1987). more…
