Downed British flyer Paul Henreid and Paris barmaid Michele Morgan fall in love while avoiding the Gestapo in occupied Paris. More a sentimental love story than wartime thriller, it leans a little too much on stereotyped characters. I did not buy into the theme of Morgan as a latter-day saint and martyr in the vein of Joan of Arc.
