Α lost, immortal masterpiece of Cinema’s World Heritage, filmed in 1941 (before the attack on Pearl Harbor) by RKO Radio Pictures at its studios in Hollywood (Los Angeles, California) and even before the shooting of CASABLANCA (1942).
A wartime melodrama about the Resistance in Paris and the collaboration of the Free French under General de Gaulle in England with the British Intelligence and the Royal Air Force (RAF): the Free French functioned as the headquarters of the secret, underground resistance in London and included distinguished personalities like Simone Weil, George Orwell, Arthur Koestler, Raymond Aron and Albert Camus (through the COMBAT newspaper movement).

JOAN OF PARIS (or else known as JOAN OF ARK, JEANNE DE PARIS and JEANNE D’ARC) is a film based on a story elaborated by the French novelist, screenwriter and playwright Jacques Théry & the French actor and writer Georges Kessel: interestingly, the life of the French journalist Joseph Kessel has many connections to the plot of JOAN OF PARIS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kessel).
The plot of the 2 Frenchmen was adapted to a screenplay by the British –former actor- screenwriter, playwright and director Charles Alfred Selwyn Bennett (who served in the English Army at France in 1917-19 and was awarded the Military Medal during World War I, becoming a lieutenant and, also, later, a close collaborator and writer for the films of Alfred Hitchcock and Cecil de Mille) & the American writer and producer Elias (Ellis) St. Joseph.
JOAN OF PARIS is directed by the British –former engineer and journalist- screenwriter and director Robert Edward Stevenson (who moved to the USA in 1939 to avoid war service but became an American citizen during World War II, serving also in the U.S. Army Signal Corps). In directing JOAN of PARIS, he was helped by the American production manager and assistant director James H. Anderson.
The movie was produced by the American film producer David Hempstead.
Music by Roy Webb.
THE GREAT STAR of the film is Paul Henreid (the double or doppelganger of the philosopher Albert Camus). Henreid was an Austrian -of Jewish, Moravian, Greek descent by the name Schefteles- who was born in Trieste but lived in Vienna and Berlin where he was persecuted by the Nazi regime as a strong anti-fascist. In Hollywood, he was also blacklisted for a long period after 1951 by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. His family's original name (Hirsch Schefteles Rosenberg) was changed to Von Hernreid.
According to a review:
«As the film was made in wartime, Paris obviously could not be used as a location, so a great deal of trouble was taken to try to show Paris without showing Paris. A huge effort by the plasterers went into producing a replica of the west door of Notre Dame Cathedral. Michele Morgan is a simple shop girl who has never had a relationship before. Rarely was there a young actress who could look up lovingly into the eyes of a male lead in a film with as wide-eyed and innocent a look at Michele Morgan. From being a sweet and gentle little thing who couldn't harm a fly, she ends up a heroine who joins the Resistance, hence she is called 'Jeanne de Paris', giving the film its title. It was a good wartime yarn to boost morale and remind people outside France that not everyone in Paris was a collaborator, though God knows there were enough of those. Laird Cregar does a sinister job of playing 'Herr Funck', the head of the Paris Gestapo, a chess player and oily schemer. He locates Henreid but decides to let him continue his contacts before 'wheeling him in on his string when the time is right'. This tactic may sound far-fetched but it was precisely the tactic used in the 1930s by Heydrich and Himmler when they were running the Special Security Department of the Reichs Fuehrer SS (Himmler) but were unsatisfied with that and wished to seize control of the Gestapo, which had been founded by their rival Goering. They identified and located two communist agents who were well advanced in a serious plot to assassinate Goering. Instead of informing Goering or his Gestapo, they risked Goering's life (which frankly did not bother them) to score the coup of becoming the ones to save his life under the uninformed nose of his own deputy, Diels. They just pulled this off, which humiliated and disgraced Diels, so that he lost his job, and they ended up taking over the Gestapo because they had proved their superior brilliance and competence. This story was already well known by 'those in the know' amongst the Allies by the time the script for this film was written, and that plot element was probably inspired by the earlier real event in Germany».
