      James Agee TIME Magazine Joan is more melodrama than tragedy. But Director Robert Stevenson knows how to curl the hair: he moves his camera with breath-holding suspense through the Gestapo shadows of occupied Paris. Feb 27, 2018 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com One of the few films starring the lovey French actress Michele Moragn made during WWII, while in exile in Hollywood.

      ashley h Joan of Paris is a fantastic film. It is about an RAF squadron that is brought down over occupied France. Michele Morgan and Paul Henreid give awesome performances. The screenplay is a good but a little slow in places. Robert Stevenson did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. Joan of Paris is a must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member ok WWII drama made during WWII Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Powerful World War II propaganda film, wonderfully acted by all, Thomas Mitchell gives a sincere performance, Paul Henreid is great, Michele Morgan is charming, Alan Ladd is great in a small role. May Robson is outstanding, great performance. Excellent and moving score. The cinematography is dark and shadowy, perfectly suited to the film.
