Irresistably entertaining.
Sentimental wartime story that never fully recovers from its contrivances.
Nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, Pied Piper is a sentimental but well acted propaganda film, made at the height of WWII.
A warm, loving, heart-tugging story.
Monty Woolley stars as a pig-headed English misanthrope leading an unusual group of refugees out of France in spring 1940.
Baxter falters as the mademoiselle who comes to their aid, but the film does well by an obviously contrived scenario.
[It] keeps things moving and shows a real knack for balancing the comedic and more serious aspects.
