Movie
The Elusive Corporal
1962 · 105 min
A wry, humane look at captivity and camaraderie, balancing absurdity and melancholy as men keep trying to slip away.
- Overview
- An upper-class corporal is captured by the Germans during their 1940 invasion of France. Assisted and accompanied by characters as diverse as a morose dairy farmer, a waiter, a myopic intellectual, a working-class Parisian, and a German dental assistant, the corporal tries to escape from prison camps, sometimes making it a few yards, sometimes reaching the border.
