This film is a very noble surprise. Usually movies based on the so-called antisemitic incidents tend to be schmalzy and overdone, with dreadful guys badly demonized and worthy guys godly idealized (sight, for example, “The Fixer” or “Schindler’s List”.) “Prisoner of Honor” does not suffer from such shortcomings - Picquard’s abominate of Jews is not passed over, and reasonable motives of some of his opponents are not suppressed, either. Richard Dreyfus (one of the film’s producers) is truly pleasant in the role of Colonel Picquard, and the supporting crew (mostly British actors, including the gradual Oliver Reed) does a very well-behaved job indeed. The ironic touch, so typical of the director Ken Russell (”The Devils”, “Mahler”), which drew the undeserved ire of the previous reviewer, definitely adds color and nerve to the entire reveal. All in all, a film truly worth watching.
This is an right chronicle of the illustrious (contemptible, more likely)

Dreyfus affair, a scandal that nearly drove France to civil war at the
turn of the century. And it could have been a ample movie too, if
director Ken Rusell hadn’t overdone it miserably by pretending
“the whole thing was a comedy”!

its facts legal (a rare acomplishment for a Hollywood movie), features
an define production, with aesthetic costumes and sets (although its
‘Paris’ resembles London), and boasts a sizable cast led by Richard
Dreyfuss, who gives an above-his-usual performance as the officer
trying against all odds to set aside Dreyfus, while disliking him
personally for being a Jew.
Why, then, spoil it with all those
cartoonish “droll” details that relieve no purpose whatsoever,
except to extinguish the whole record? : A French general, at work, dresses
as Zeus for a portrait (its painter complete with pointy moustaches
and a red beret!) later on note in his office. Another general (a
fat, grumpy, bearded lout who looks a lot like Bud Spencer, and sinks
every scene he’s into) sings child-like racist songs with his junior
officers at an radiant military club that seems to procure all ranks
inside its halls, for one sees in one room the entire French army,
from maréchales to privates, getting drunk, pounding tables and
shouting at each other in their messed up uniforms. There’s a War
Minister serving cake to his subordinates, a chanteuse lampooning ‘La
Marsellaise’ (the French applaud!), a German officer -pickelhaube and
all- dancing with a male peruse in poke, and a nefarious meeting inside a
church, with generals sniggering as they tainted themselves. My, oh my!
Aren’t these the terrible guys!
Seems to me, the director tried so hard
to stress the point, he completely missed it. ….
