About the Event
Carolers and tinsel; the perfect setting for Christmas Eve in a snowy mountain village. But when a body is discovered, dressed as Santa, the hysteria soon spreads and accusations fly. The first film produced by the German controlled Continental Films, who regulated film production under the occupation, this is more than a fireside mystery for a chilly night. Christian-Jaque creates a parable for collaboration, and subversively portrays a perilous moment in French history, when neighbors denounced each other and wondered who was to be trusted. (Christian-Jaque, France, 1941, 105 min.) In French with English Subtitles
