The crossing of the Rhine
( Le passage du Rhin )Release date 1960 Drama . 125 min
Two Frenchmen who are imprisoned by the Germans in 1940 become friends. One man is a reporter, the other a baker. The reporter is an enterprising young man. He escapes, crosses the Rhine, joins the resistance, and becomes the manager of a big newspaper. The unassuming baker is unable to escape and seems to be a victim of circumstances. But the hour of reckoning comes at the end of the war, and the freer man of the two is less than obvious.
