A French-language Free French propaganda short made in wartime London: Germaine Sablon performs three resistance songs—most notably the first filmed performance of “Le Chant des Partisans” (music: Anna Marly; lyrics: Joseph Kessel & Maurice Druon)—for morale and circulation among Free French forces; Cavalcanti’s film was shown to troops in Britain and Canada and conceived for clandestine delivery to partisans.
