Continental-Films
Continental-Films, known as Continental, is a French film production company, active during the Occupation, and financed by German capital. Created in 1940 by Joseph Goebbels for propaganda purposes, it was however directed by the Francophile Alfred Greven who would take little account of the political orders received from Berlin. Between 1941 and 1944, the company thus produced around thirty quality feature films, some of which
Hand of the devil
,
To the Happiness of the Ladies
or
The crow
have become French classics. The Continental will disappear at the Liberation.
The Continental's most remarkable contribution to French cinema is, without doubt, the production of the film
The crow
by Clouzot. At the Liberation, the French cinema clean-up committee placed this dark and pessimistic work, and its authors and actors, on a blacklist.
Some of them, like Pierre Fresnay (then president of the union "The Family of Professionals
du spectacle ”) and Ginette Leclerc, spent time in prison (six weeks at the depot for the first, one year for the second, including a visit to the Drancy camp). Clouzot must wait three years to come out of purgatory and shoot
Headquarters
in 1947.
