Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pierre Renoir was Jean Renoir's older brother and son of painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir — this family's artistic dominance is frankly rude.
Released just months before the Munich Agreement, the film's military pride feels almost tragic in retrospect — the navy Pimaï dies for would soon be divided between Vichy and Free France.
