This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In French with English subtitles. Widescreen.

The eponymous French corporal, played by Jean-Pierre Cassel, is ensconced in a German POW camp. Cassel plots with his friends Claude Brasseur and Claude Rich to escape, but all three are recaptured. When the corporal plans another getaway, he finds that one of his chums isn't interested anymore. After a brief liaison with the daughter of a German dentist, Cassel once more tries to break out...and once more...and once more. Finally free from his captors, Cassel joins the resistance with his loyal pal Brasseur. Le Caporal Épinglé was a return to the themes of freedom and personal dignity inherent in Jean Renoir's earlier masterpiece La Grande Illusion (1938).

3 of 5 Bravo Cassel February 7, 2018
Reviewer: Paul Stumpf from Jackson Heights, NY United States  
I have to admit being a bigger fan of Jean-Pierre Cassel than of Renoir. This is a fairly average POW camp movie, populated with Renoir's usual boisterous salt-of-the earth types.  Good print
