This is another fascinating look at the early part of World War Two.
'France Falls' sets the scene with some interesting background on the leadership of both the French government and military, before it looks at the response to the German expansion as it nears French territory.
With the Maginot Line in focus, there is some great archived footage of the underground network along with an informative strategic map that shows its place on the French/German border.
The Battle of France is described from a number of perspectives with the main narration concentrating on the response of leaders like General Maurice Gamelin and the swiftness of the German attack.
As always, there are powerful interviews with witnesses such as war correspondent Gordon Waterfield, whose account of his time in France contains some of the most interesting moments and harrowing memories, such as the plight of the French refugees.
The archived footage and interviews are blended together excellently and Sir Lawrence Olivier's narration is perfect.
