Description

Double-bill of propaganda films made by Alfred Hitchcock during World War II aimed at bolstering flagging French spirits. 'Bon Voyage' (1944) tells the story of a downed RAF pilot, shot down over France and guided back to freedom by members of the underground resistance, while 'Aventure Malgache' (1944) follows the recollections of an actor as he tells his fellow performers about his experiences in the resistance as a radio operator trying to evade capture.
