Pierre Fresnay

Alfred Hitchcock's original black-n-white version which he later remade in the '50s. 

Arguably Jean Renoir's greatest masterpiece, an anti-war saga concerning the relationships amongst a group of French officers, captured by the enemy and plotting their escape, during World War I - and a meditation on the collapse of Europe's old world order.

A doctor (Pierre Fresnay) becomes the focus of a vicious smear campaign, when letters accuse him of having an affair and performing unlawful abortions are mailed to village leaders in this French mystery from 1943.
