Введение
Армия теней – франко-итальянский фильм о Второй мировой войне 1969 года, написанный и снятый Жаном Пьером Мелвилем, в главной роли Лино Вентура, Пол Мюррис, Жан Пьер Кассель и Симона Синьоре. Это адаптация одноименной книги Джозефа Кесселя 1943 года, в которой опыт Кесселя как члена французского Сопротивления смешивается с вымышленными историями других участников Сопротивления. Фильм рассказывает о небольшой группе бойцов Сопротивления, перемещающихся между конспиративными квартирами, работающих с союзными войсками, убивающих информаторов и пытающихся избежать захвата и казни, которые, как они знают, являются их наиболее вероятной судьбой. Фильм не был выпущен в США до 2006 года.
