Charles de Gaulle

(Fr3) Charles avant De Gaulle (2017) Movies

Posted by Morocco at May 6, 2017

Pour la plupart des Français, l'histoire publique du général de Gaulle débute en 1940, avec son refus officiel de la défaite française face à l'Allemagne nazie. Pourtant, cette année-là, Charles de Gaulle a déjà presque 50 ans, et sa carrière a débuté des décennies plus tôt. Le parcours de cet homme engagé commence dès l'adolescence, avec la conviction profonde qu'il aura un rôle à jouer dans l'histoire de France. Ce documentaire offre également l'occasion de revenir sur les épreuves que Charles de Gaulle a traversées, notamment durant la Première Guerre mondiale, où il a été blessé à trois reprises, puis emprisonné plus de deux ans dans une forteresse allemande.

Posted by notbanned at April 13, 2019

The Algerian War was a momentous struggle for independence from France by Algerian nationalists between 1954 and 1962. Unique historic footage has been gathered from both sides, much of it never before seen. The cameras were free to roam in both countries and many of the interviewees speak frankly for the first time of their role in the struggle.
This eight-year conflict caused the fall of six French Prime Ministers and eventually the collapse of the Fourth Republic. It returned Charles de Gaulle to power but also almost saw his demise and twice brought civil strife to mainland France, and the fear of a military coup.

Posted by at Jan. 23, 2020

Ike: Countdown to D-Day
Ike: Countdown to D-Day is a 2004 American television film originally aired on the American television channel A&E, directed by Robert Harmon and written by Lionel Chetwynd. Tom Selleck portrays General Dwight D. Eisenhower, US Army, popularly known by his nickname of "Ike". The film deals with the difficult decisions he made leading to up to D-Day, including dealing with the varied personalities of his command: General Omar N. Bradley, US Army, Lieutenant General George S. Patton, Jr., US Army, General Bernard Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, British Army and General Charles De Gaulle, Free French. The film does not have action sequences, focusing instead on the inner workings of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force that led to the successful D-Day invasion of World War II. Concentrating on decisions actually made by Eisenhower and the pressures brought to bear on him personally, it includes his personal relationship with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his own Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Walter Bedell Smith, US Army. The film is also notable for being the only major production in which General Montgomery's portrayal concentrates on his role as a competent military professional, instead of focusing on his alleged personality disorders, while still showing his egocentricity and foibles. General Patton's complex personality is also outlined in a very brief set of scenes played by Gerald McRaney.
