Alfred Hitchcock's Aventure Malgache

A short, absorbing drama of wartime espionage and murder. Legendary master of suspense and intrigue Alfred Hitchcock directed this forgotten classic in 1944 to aid the war effort, but when government officials saw his work, they labeled it "inflammatory" and shelved it from release.

Aventure Malgache is told from the perspective of an actor, tantilizing his castmates backstage with a story from another continent. As the camera once more changes perspectives, Hitchcock immerses the audience among the French underground resistance fighting for Madagascar, threatened by the loose-lipped girlfriend of the movement's undaunting leader.
