Excellent, smart action film.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

great cast. interesting script. noble message. touching story of love and honor. for discover it in deep sense it is useful to remember the year of its birth. a film about war from the war period. this little detail could transforms the dialogs and the story in more than pieces from a lost age, pathetic or almost fake, ridiculous or out of our period manner to discover reality. it remains touching for the science to present the soul of a moment in honest manner. for the splendid performance by Charles Laughton, for George Sanders and his character's vulnerability and, sure, for Maureen O'Hara as the strong woman. nothing surprising in each performance but the large picture is touching and convincing. because its subject is the ordinary every day life, its values, sacrifices and metamorphoses. more than a film, a manifesto. or only reminder about what is real important.

this land is mine is timeless and a cautionary tale for today. previous revues of this film were offered either before our recent economic crash or very early on when we didn't know the depth of the calamity. now, in the ensuing years, it is becoming clear collaboration exists and requires no occupying enemy. despite the movie was propaganda, it was propaganda of the best kind. the entire film was without theatrics nor a punch-to-the solar plexus message as evidenced in the Laughton soliloquy; the clear measured tenor of a man who has found his heart and courage. casting of the supporting players was inspired. in a film with perhaps three or four second and third part players it may be easy enough to recruit a strong supporting cast but this movie had so many important roles the casting seems a minor miracle.kudos to all concerned in this gem. the one misstep, if i may be so picky, was the crescendo-ing close as the screen went black.

I am sure that there are many reasons why the brave and exceptional men and women of the "greatest generation" where able to leave their lives behind and put themselves in harms way to defeat the Axis Powers. One reason however must have been films like this one produced by Jean Renoir and directed by Nichols.I usually cringe at blatant propaganda, but I was quite moved by this one, and I'm sure it is due to the expert direction and also due to the fine performances turned in by Laughton, O'Hara, Slezak, Sands and O'Connor. It is basically a retelling of "The Scarlett Pimpernel", but not so directly as to be called a remake by anyone.If Maureen O'Hara (at that point in her career)would walk in and give me such a kiss, I would happily go to my death. French Resistance films may just have become my newly favorite genre (along with race-track movies, boxing movies, Irish movies and submarine movies.)

because of the finishing speeches by Laughton, this is, by far, the best film Renoir ever did. Now, there something very special with Renoir. Films like La Grande Illusion and La règle du jeu are usually regarded as his best films, but these films are not courageous and do more to defend the status quo than to attack it any way. These films only make sense if you are willing to accept the status quo of the present abomination of market economy as unchangeable and that we may never get rid of the business-men in our midst. here, is instead a film, done in the middle of WWII, which firmly takes a stand against collaboration and, in the speeches by Laughton, gives good explanation how such collaboration is possible - not forgetting the root of the evil, "the business-men". This was a strong film yesterday and still is, if looked upon wisely.
