An inspired production of Giraudoux's famous play (the English version is called Tiger at the Gates) about the conflict between those who see war as the greatest risk of all and the ultimate folly, and those who speak of patriotism, manliness, and glory. Like any great work, it has been read to provide different messages on different occasions: when it was written, as a commentary on the growing menace of Nazism; and post-war, as a warning against appeasing totalitarians and totalitarianism. (French with English subtitles, 1 hour 50 minutes)
