(10,133 posts)7. From IMDB trivia ... great note about that scene ...
During the scene in which the "La Marseillaise" is sung over the German song "Die Wacht am Rhein" ("The Watch on the Rhine"
, many of the extras had real tears in their eyes as a large number were actual refugees from Nazi persecution in Germany and elsewhere in Europe and were overcome by the emotions the scene brought out. The scene was inspired by Jean Renoir's The Grand Illusion (1937), in which French soldiers in a German POW camp sing the song as a similar gesture of defiance. "La Marseillaise" was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in Strasbourg after the declaration of war by France against Austria and was originally titled "Chant de guerre pour l'Armée du Rhin" ("War Song for the Rhine Army"
.

For this reason, this is one of my favorite scenes in the movie. When I saw it on the big screen a couple of years ago, I had tears in my eyes, too.
Update: Just watched the scene on YouTube. That one actress with the tears in her eyes gets me every time.
