On a small stretch of rock in the Mediterranean a group of men wander aimlessly around the arid dusty paths. It is the primitive island of Linosa. The men are the most powerful of the known Mafia bosses of Europe, who have been exiled by the Italian Government. Tonight, Europe reports on the crack-down which may bring about the end of Mafia activities in Sicily and the mainland of Italy.

The first of three films about The Great War as seen from both sides of the trenches - by French, American and German film-makers.
Tonight: Jean Renoir's film starring Erich von Stroheim, Jean Gabin, Pierre Fresnay

Two French officers, shot down over Germany, find themselves in a prison fortress governed by an ageing Prussian militarist.
Renoir's moving appeal to French-men and Germans at all costs to stop a Second World War was so powerful that it was banned in Germany and Italy.
