1001 Classic Short Stories & TalesAbout this episode
In part two the travelers are growing more and more resentful of Boule de Suif as she continues to say no to the German officer- and they concoct devious ways to try to convince her that it is her patriotic duty to give in. Featured here: "La Marseilles" (near end), is the National Anthem of France. the song was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Roget de Lisle in Strasbourg after the declaration of of war by France against Austria and was and is considered a patriotic war song. You might remember in Casablanca (at 1001 Heroes) in Rick's Bar, as the Germans began to sing their patriotic song, the free French in the bar countered with La Marseilles.
