“Reunion in France” is a wartime melodrama that pairs Joan Crawford with John Wayne, mixing romance, intrigue, and propaganda. The story unfolds with broad emotional strokes, characters come and go more to serve the message than the plot. Still, it captures the era’s tension around resistance and collaboration. While the film feels dated and often overreaches, its sincerity is clear. It may miss more targets than it hits, but it is a piece of patriotic storytelling from the home front.
