The third Jean-Pierre Melville film I've seen but also the least satisfying.
The plot was very interesting (French Resistance during WW2) and not something I've seen in a film before. However the film was too long and meandered a bit - unlike Le Cercle rouge which was long but gripping. One parachute scene showed the limitations of the time but there were two scenes that were outstanding - the first being when they are deciding the fate of a traitor and the other being the final part of the film.
Overall good, but not great.
