Found a place to see it on line. I thought it good in places but overly long. I suppose if I knew French it would have helped a lot. Too much drama and not enough action after a promising start.

Reading the IMDB entry, it sounds like the story had a lot of promise. Sounds like it didn't shake out very well.
As an aside, the British and Japanese were a couple weeks away from completely annihilating the Viet Minh late in 1945. Imagine if that would have happened.

This was one of the few movies I have seen about the war that had a really strong Vietnamese character. Called Quoc in the movie, he was a in the same unit as the main characters and was shown to be a brave fighter. He was pro France, all the way and then some!
