Les démons de l'aube (1946)

 English title: Dawn Devils

World War 2. A French commando fighting in Tunisia does some small attacks and trains for a bigger operation. A new member happens to know the leader and hold a grudge against him on account of a message which failed to be delivered. Eventually they are scheduled to take part in Operation Dragoon, in which the allies will land in the Southern Coast of France. A pretty accurate and detailed summary may be found in this page.

Passable war drama which nevertheless gets a little hard to understand at some points on account of the somewhat cryptic dialogue. Anyway the action sequences are more interesting than the contrived drama.

Rating: 40
