Peace on the Rhine (French: Paix sur le Rhin) is a 1938 French comedy drama film directed by Jean Choux and starring Françoise Rosay, Dita Parlo and John Loder.[1] [2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Émile Duquesne. It is based on a novel of the same title by Pierre Claude. It was made to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the Armistice of 1918 and promote reconciliation between France and Germany.
A family from Alsace are deeply divided by the First World War, with one son joining the French Army and another fighting in the German Army. The two brothers return after the war, one married to a German nurse, and ultimately overcome their resentments.
