Plot In German occupied Paris, a Jewish Theater owner is forced to hide in the theaters basement while his wife (Catherine Denuve) stars in the latest production and tries to find a means of escape.
Pros: Story, acting, direction
Cons: Story could have been more suspenseful.
Analysis: An excellent movie - more about life during the occupation than a melodrama about the horrors of Nazi occupation. Some good acting and memorable characters - especially Gérard Depardieu as the leading man.
Summary: Enjoyable - but could have been great with some sharper writing and more tension. Rating ***
