- Synopsis:
- This late offering from Renoir is a bitter-sweet comedy based on a novel by Jacques Perret. Set in a prisoner-of-war camp during the second world war, "The Vanishing Corporal" can be seen as a sister-film to Renoir's "La Grande Illusion". Returning to the themes of freedom and personal dignity, the film follows a French Corporal (Jean-Pierre Cassel) and two of his friends as they try, try and try again to escape their German captors.
