Joan is more melodrama than tragedy. But Director Robert Stevenson knows how to curl the hair: he moves his camera with breath-holding suspense through the Gestapo shadows of occupied Paris. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Feb 23, 2012

ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 Oct 2, 2020 Joan of Paris is a fantastic film. It is about an RAF squadron that is brought down over occupied France. Michele Morgan and Paul Henreid give awesome performances. The screenplay is a good but a little slow in places. Robert Stevenson did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. Joan of Paris is a must see.
