At the height of WWII, a downed RAF gunner escapes from a German prison camp. Asked to recall his exploits by French intelligence agents, the heroic escapee tells a tale in which nothing is as it seems. This intriguing propaganda film was intended by director Alfred Hitchcock as a tribute to the French Resistance. Bon Voyage is as mysterious and nuanced as any of Hitchcock’s famous thrillers, and was shelved during the war effort. A rare and exciting curio from the Master of Suspense!

Wikipedia
Bon Voyage is a 1944 French language propaganda short film made by Alfred Hitchcock for the British Ministry of Information. It depicts the escape of a downed RAF pilot through German-occupied territory. Although the film is short (26 minutes) and generally only of interest to Hitchcock completists, it is interesting for its use of multiple viewpoints of the same events, a technique not unlike that used by Akira Kurosawa in Rashomon and Fernando Meirelles in Cidade de Deus.
