June 1940. The German Army sweeps into Paris and set up headquarters at The Hotel Ritz. In order to survive-- and to strike a blow against their Nazi 'guests' the hotel's director, Claude Auzello, and his beautiful American actress wife, Blanche throw themselves into spinning a web of deceit, working for the French Resistance. But one secret threatens to imperil both their lives-- and to bring down the legendary Ritz itself. -- adapted from jacket |
