    This foreign film from 1962 is the true story of the writer's childhood during WWII Paris when he was a young Jewish boy & is sent to live in the countryside where it is presumed to be more safe; but must keep his Jewish identity hidden from the elderly couple that has taken him...( read more) in. Touching and endearing...I enjoyed this film.

    Wow, I will say that this film is rather intriguing in the sense that it never does one thing, which is the character never goes through any change, any difference in how he now looks at things. That will be the main character played by Michel Simon, who really is rather poignant...( read more) in his role. I liked how it ends off, how it has such simple metaphorical insights by using such simplicity, minimalist in its display and cutting off any excess debris that would have got in the way.

    nominated best foreign film by NBR

    I'm a sucker for foreign films about children because American films (aside from Chaplin and "Night of the Hunter") have rarely allowed children to be more than exploited props. This picture is full of lively comedy and potential tragedy, but never gives in to false truths.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A heart-warming movie that showcases one of the last performances of the great Michel Simon. full review
