Movie Comments & Discussion
1960's cult classic about a Scottish soldier in WWI that gets separated from his unit while on duty in France. In his attempt to elude the German soldiers, he masquerades as an inmate in an insane asylum. In the end, he is challenged to choose life in the asylum vs continuing his role in the war. English, French, and German language film, so English subtitles are present for much of the film. If you can find it, it is definitely worth a look.
