Conrado and Rachel are joined by Eric McDonough (of The Movie Shelf podcast) to talk about Jean Renoir's GRAND ILLUSION, a War World I prison escape movie that was, for a long time, considered one of the best movies ever made. Its status seems to have receded considerably in the last couple decades, but that doesn't make it any less influential, or any less entertaining.
