This Land Is Mine is a 1943 American war drama film directed by Jean Renoir and written and produced by Dudley Nichols.

Starring Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Hara and George Sanders,[2] the film is set in the midst of World War II in an unspecified place in German-occupied Europe that appears similar to France.

Freed and back in his schoolroom, with a proud Louise by his side, he is reading to the boys the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen when German soldiers come to take him away.

[4][5] Though the prime purpose of the film is propaganda to strengthen Allied resolve in the fight against Nazism, critics at the time and since have noted that Nichols and Renoir adopt a distinctively nuanced approach.

For example, James Morrison[6] cites how the film blames the bourgeoisie, a few left-wing intellectuals excepted, for letting Hitler into power in 1933, for surrendering France in 1940 and for collaborating actively or passively.
