Peace on the Rhine (French: Paix sur le Rhin) is a 1938 French comedy drama film directed by Jean Choux and starring Françoise Rosay, Dita Parlo and John Loder.[1] [2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Émile Duquesne. It is based on a novel of the same title by Pierre Claude. It was made to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the Armistice of 1918 and promote reconciliation between France and Germany.
