Is Paris Burning?
War Drama History
The title is Adolf Hitler's question to his chief of staff Alfred Jodl on the eve of the liberation of Paris (August 25): the military governor of Paris, General Dietrich von Choltitz, had been ordered to destroy Paris rather than let it fall undamaged into the hands of the Allies, but von Choltitz disobeyed.The film follows historical events as U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, head of the Allied invasion, refuses to divert troops to liberate Paris. His hand is forced by the French military leader, Philippe Leclerc, and by a Resistance uprising in the city. Von Choltitz keeps details of the uprising from the German high command in an effort to save the city being destroyed in retaliation. The film follows his turmoil as a soldier and as the man who doesn't wish to be seen by history as the cause of a beautiful city's destruction.

Note from Encoder
This is the Kino Lorber release of Is Paris Burning? (1966) — original title: Paris brûle-t-il ?. This edition features a new 4K restoration sourced from the original camera negative, undertaken by Paramount Pictures in association with American Zoetrope and Francis Ford Coppola.
Audio is included in both English and French, presented in DD+. The release also contains an audio commentary by film historians Daniel Kremer and Howard S. Berger, providing historical context, production background, and insight into the film’s large international cast. There were no additional extras on the disc.
A lesser-known detail: the film was shot extensively on real Paris locations less than twenty years after the events depicted, and several performers had firsthand experience with the resistance or military operations portrayed, lending the film an added layer of authenticity.
Enjoy this restored classic war epic! Merry Christmas!
