Line of Demarcation (film)
Line of Demarcation is a 1966 war drama film written and directed by Claude Chabrol. Its title in French is La Ligne de démarcation. It is based on upon the memoir Mémoires d'un agent secret de la France libre et La Ligne de démarcation by Gilbert Renault under his pseudonym Colonel Rémy. Plot
A small village in the Jura is split by the river Loue, which in that area constitutes the line of demarcation between occupied France and the free zone. A French officer, Pierre (Ronet), is released by Nazi soldiers to find his chateau converted into a German command centre. Whilst he is obliged to co-operate with the enemy, his wife Mary (Seberg) supports the resistance movement and is willing to risk her life for it. The Nazis step up their activity against the resistance, insisting that any who attempt to cross the line of demarcation will be shot. When his wife is arrested, Pierre decides to switch his allegiance. The movement is hindered by an informer and by another man who pretends to help the resistance fighters but leads them to the Nazis and steals all their possessions. Principal cast
