Precious shot taken during the filming of this documentary celebrating the glory of French spirit, made in the midst of war as a response to a proclamation by German intellectuals exalting Germanic culture.
Sacha Guitry, already known as a dramatic author, decided to use an amateur camera to "engrave in images," for future generations, the great personalities who contribute to France's radiance. Among others, one discovers Edgar Degas, Anatole France, Lucien Guitry, Octave Mirbeau, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Auguste Rodin, Edmond Rostand and Camille Saint-Saëns.
