No. The country is question is in Europe.

Question here, skimpole:

Is the movie's protagonist somehow involved in Cold War politics?

Question here, skimpole:

Yes.

[Dargo]

Might be time for another clue here, Skimpole. Maybe one which pointpoints the country in question.

(...and seein' as how it seems we're all still pretty much stumped here)

[skimpole]

The unjust imprisonment is the core of the movie, the country being invaded is just an ironic coda.

[skimpole]

Also, the movie is in French, which is the allusion to France I mentioned earlier.

[skimpole]

As said before, a man returns to the country that unjustly imprisoned him only to find it is being invaded. Both the movie and the event it covers takes place after 1945 and in Europe. The movie involves the cold war, the unjust imprisonment is the core of the movie, and the movie was made in France.

Also the movie stars an oscar winner and said oscar winner's spouse.

[Dargo]

'The Journey' ?

[skimpole]

No. The oscar winner is an actress.

[Dargo]

No. The oscar winner is an actress.

Darn! Thought I had finally nailed it here with 'The Journey'.

How about a little more specific clue here then.

(...this one's a toughie)

[skimpole]

The actress isn't Elizabeth Taylor. It isn't Nicole Kidman or Susan Sarandon. There can't be that many oscar-winning actresses who are married to movie actors.

Hmmm...betcha there's a lot more than just THOSE three here, anyway!

Okay, tell ya what. Seein' as how you've got me hooked here, I'll now go down the list of Best Actress Oscar winners of the last 60-odd years and see if there's one name who I remember was also married to a noted actor and who's filmography includes a movie with this sort of synopsis.

(...and seein' as how I have all this free time on my hands lately) LOL

Costa Gravas film The Confession ? Simone Signoret and Yves Montand ??

[Dargo]

Ah-HAI I think I've found it...and after checking Simone Signoret's filmography, and who was married to Yves Montand, and who both starred in the french language film about the Soviet incursion into Czechoslovakia titled...wait for it:

'The Confession"

(...you're a hard man, skimpole!)

[Dargo]

DANG! Looks like Kay beat me to it by just 4 minutes here!

(...eeh, that's okay...I didn't wanna have to do the next one here ANYWAY...so THERE!!!) LOL

At last! Your turn now.
