Is Paris Burning? HD Remastered Edition

[Machine Translation] Rene Clement, the master filmmaker of "Forbidden Games", has created an epic war spectacle with a documentary touch, depicting the two weeks of battles leading up to the liberation of Paris at the end of World War II! The film features an all-star cast from the American, French, and German film industries of the time, and depicts the tactics of the resistance factions, which were not necessarily monolithic, as well as the urban battles in which all Parisians participated. The film's attention to period accuracy is also not to be overlooked, as in the clever use of American tanks as simulacrums to recreate the German tanks galloping down the main streets of Paris. Francis Ford Coppola, who was a screenwriter, co-wrote the screenplay for the film. --In August 1944, as the Allied Forces that had landed in Normandy two months earlier were closing in on Paris, the Resistance, which had been resisting Nazi Germany, was gathering momentum for an armed uprising. Hitler, cornered, appoints General Koltitz as commander of the Paris occupation forces and orders him to "destroy Paris before the enemy takes it. At this time, the Resistance receives information that the Allied Forces are planning to bypass Paris... The dubbed Japanese TV version (from Nippon Television's "Wednesday Road Show") is included for the first time *Not included on DVD *The dubbed sound is based on the uncut soundtrack of the first TV broadcast, so you can watch the entire film dubbed. Nominated for two Academy Awards in 1966 (Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction).
