Conrad Veidt, who played Major Strasser was a German actor who fled Germany with his Jewish wife. Madeleine Lebeau as Yvonne was French as was her husband, Marcel Dalio who played the roulette croupier. Sidney Greenstreet was British, Paul Heinreid was Austrian, and Peter Lorie was German. Even Curt Bois, the pickpocket, was a German refugee. Finally, Ingrid Bergman was Swedish.

[@jimcriswell1906]

I’ve watched the movie and this scene in particular dozens of times and I still get goosebumps.

[@None-zc5vg]

Many of the supporting actors in this picture were German-Jewish rather than French (even Paul Henried was of Austrian-Jewish origin) so this scene was more than just about French patriotism.

[@cbalsz]

The German song is not Nazi, but a Napoleonic era German song about standing up to the French on the Rhine. A thorough slap in the face to a French audience after the German blitz. The French song was, at that time, the FORMER French national anthem, dropped by the military dictatorship that replaced the Republic. So they are singing an anthem of restoration of the old French Republic in defiance of the German military that destroyed it. The emotions of the actors were not forced.

[@alextabet9247]

@@EwanCummins All 3 things that you Anglo-Saxon mongrels didn't have the goolies for back on the 30th January 1649. You made a right mess of that. And you seem to suggest that there is nothing wrong with a political system that takes the best infanticides, fratricides, murders, thieves, rapists, incestuous parents, greedy, vicious, under-educated thugs and elevate them to the top position, regardless of the lack of any innate qualities, and continues the experiment for generations. Adult countries, such as France, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Italy, Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and there are just 4 monarchies in the EU, out of 27, that leaves 4 countries that just haven't grown up yet. And, of course, the country called Pryttynn is still too infantile to move towards an adult political system. And the Anglo-Saxons are the chief culprits of that situation, using the active monarchy, the Freemasons, and the "elites" of the Harrow/Eton, Oxford and Cambridge bloc, to keep the country from moving way beyond childish attitudes, and becoming a democracy.
