This double feature presents two WWII-era dramas. From the mind of French director Rene Clement (GERVAISE) comes LE BATAILLE DU RAIL, a tale of heroic struggle by members of the French Resistance. Created during the last years of World War II, this part-documentary feature required bravery and risk-taking just to be made. A moving portrait of the men and women who transported illegal mail, participated in sabotage, and did everything in between in protest of Nazi occupation, LA BATAILLE DU RAIL features cinematography by Henri Alekan, the man behind such classics as ROMAN HOLIDAY. Meanwhile, the groundbreaking and powerful postwar Hungarian film SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, from director Geza Radvani, captured the painful plight of Hungary's desperate war orphans. Co-written by renowned film theorist Bela Balazs, this bleak film follows a group of young street scavengers who settle into a seemingly abandoned castle and bond with the traumatized conductor who's been living there--only to have their fragile peace destroyed once again by the civilized world.
