Uncertain Glory

Overview
In occupied France, a convicted thief and murderer escapes the guillotine when a bombing raid strikes the prison, but is quickly re-captured by the inspector of the Surete responsible for his original arrest. Fearing the guillotine more than his actual death, the convict inveigles the inspector to help him with a plan to rescue 100 Frenchmen taken by the Gestapo following an act of sabotage: he will confess to being the saboteur and allow himself to be executed by firing squad, the Gestapo's method of execution, thus freeing the 100 men.

01:07:55 All right.
01:11:36 But after I'm gone, you'll get over it.
01:14:52 ...then we must answer to God.

01:33:03 Darling.
01:37:59 Herr Major, this man claims to be the saboteur of the Gartempe bridge.
