Army of Shadows

In this taut, heartrending 1969 Jean-Pierre Melville thriller based on Joseph Kessel's novel, a hard-edged civil engineer (Lino Ventura) leads a brave, underground group of French Resistance fighters, including a married baker (Simone Signoret), a bowler-wearing clock repairman (Paul Crauchet), a brawny driver (Christian Barbier), and greenhorn recruits (Jean-Pierre Cassel and Claude Mann), against the Nazis during World War II.
