Another worthy chapter of the Young Indiana Jones Adventures, with Sean Patrick Flanery as Indiana Jones. In a prior chapter we see he joined the Belgian army because he did not have to prove he was an adult (he was only 17). As this chapter begins we see Indy and his friend Remy are two of the survivors of a fierce battle, one that resulted in all the officers being killed, and young Corporal Indy was the high ranking officer. They are placed with the French army.
Much of this 90-minute movie involves hand-to-hand combat in WW1 battles in France. We always know Indy will get out OK, because of the later Indiana Jones movies with Harrison Ford, but he gets into a number of tight situations, and gets captured by the Germans at least on two different occasions.
In one of those he meets up with French prisoner Charles De Gaulle, in his 20s, and they help each other escape by removing bodies from two pine caskets and getting carried out. In fact Charles De Gaulle, future President of France (1959 - 1969), did fight in WW1 and was captured, but tried unsuccessfully, five time, to escape.
Good, interesting chapter with appropriately high production values.
