"Aventure malgache" is a French documentary drama from over 70 years ago and the only reason it is somewhat known today is because of its director. Alfred Hitchcock shot this film during World War II and it's one of his very few French movies, so make sure you catch a set of subtitles when watching this. I have seen some Hitch, not even close to most of his works, but I thought there was nothing memorable about this one here. It's black-and-white and runs for slightly over half an hour. It can be a decent watch with people in a great interest in French history, resistance, etc. but I found none of the drama really that well done in here and I am actually glad to see that Hitchcock did not stretch this to a full feature drama film. Certainly one of his weakest projects, which is slightly disappointing as he made some of his classics already before this one, even if his great successes followed a bit later. With the exception of Paul Bonifas, the cast is not known at all either, many of them never appeared in film again. Not a good watch, not recommended.
