'Army of Crime' honors World War II resistance fighters

At the beginning of the World War II story "The Army of Crime," a roll call of resistance fighters who died for France does not include many French names. That's because much of the guerrilla warfare was conducted by foreigners, including Jews from Eastern Europe who had migrated to France as laborers, and communists from southern Europe who had fought the fascists in Spain.

This true story does a great service by honoring the memory of 22 brave men and women and by dramatizing the internal debates within the French population. But in staying true to life, it sacrifices some of the pacing and clarity of a conventional thriller.
