With An All-Star Cast
The explosive, courage-filled story of the Allied Resistance and the Paris Liberation of 1944.
As the Nazi jackboot marches through Europe, the freedom fighters of Paris mount a brave resistance. An insane and desperate Hitler sends a top general to determine if the Nazis can hold the city. If not, Paris will be burned.
With a powerful script by Gore Vidal and Francis Ford Coppola, this epic film boasts an international cast of screen legends, including Jean-Paul Belmondo, Kirk Douglas, Yves Montand, Leslie Caron, Anthony Perkins, and Orson Welles. Is Paris Burning? is a staggering portrait of heroism and brotherhood, and one of the most riveting stories to come out of World War II.

Two Soundtracks and B&W, too! - 3 out of 5 (1/3/2006)
Just to clarify a previous comment, "Is Paris Burning?" has two soundtracks: English, and French with English subtitles. Technically speaking, the film is not "dubbed" into English since many members of the international cast (Kirk Douglas, Anthony Perkins, Orson Welles, etc.) spoke their lines in English. And the film is in black and white, not color as the blurb states (save for a very brief color sequence at the end). Not a bad war film, but unfortunately not the great one it seems to want
