Average viewer score of 6.5/10 from 25 ratings.
Tight film making across the board. The Cross of Lorraine is directed by Tay Garnett {The Postman Always Rings Twice/A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court} & it stars Jean-Pierre Aumont and Gene Kelly and was adapted from Hans Habe's novel A Thousand Shall Fall. The story is about French prisoners of war held by the Germans in World War II. Yep, sure enough it's a propaganda piece, yep, sure enough it's low…
