As the Battle of France rages and Nazi forces drive civilians to the west, young Paulette's parents are killed in a strafing run. A chance encounter with an older boy, Michel, saves her life and a friendship blossoms. Sounds very sweet... but still it must prostrate itself upon the altar of our Eternal Question: IS THIS MOVIE A WAR MOVIE OR IS THIS MOVIE NOT A WAR MOVIE!? Next week: Nolan! Questions? Comments?

This week, it's the return of everyone's favourite piece of human garbage - Hitler. The guys discuss Hitler: The Last Ten Days. The guys debate if Alec Guinness is miscast in the title role, they make comparisons to Downfall, point out the colour choices for scenes outside the bunker, talk about Eva Braun in blackface and much more. Next week: Ollie Stone's other Vietnam movie. No, the other one. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
