Hitchcock temporarily returned to Britain to make his contribution to the Allied war effort with two French-language films for the British Ministry of Information which were intended to encourage resistance in France and, especially, the French colonies. Bon Voyage and Adventure Malgache were shot by the eminent German cameraman Günther Krampf and featured the Molière Players, refugees from France who had formed a theatrical group in London. Both were spy/Resistance intrigues based on true cases-and both, in the words of a British critic, "rattling good yarns." In Bon Voyage, an RAF man is taken out of France through Resistance channels, escorted by a Polish officer whom he befriends. After he is startled by a revelation concerning the officer's true identity, the film takes us "through the journey across France all over again, but this time we show all sorts of details that the young RAF man hadn't noticed at first..." (Hitchcock, to Truffaut). Adventure Malgache is the true story of two of the Molière players who were on opposing sides of the struggle in Vichy-dominated Madagascar, and who find themselves sharing a dressing room as actors in London. Because of its sensitive subject, dealing with conflicts among the Free French, it was not, after all, released.
