Not surprisingly it is about Algiers and Battles. Told from the revolutionaries side but whew is it rough... one of my top 10 films (not just war either) but I just watched today. And the Criterion has super cool additions, get that copy.

I saw it in the early 80s on tv if I remember correctly.Black and white int it? The frogs won that war,but per usual got betrayed by the politicos (so now they`ve got a bit of a problem with north african slums in France instead.....).

Yes. It is worth a rewatch. Get the Criterion edition for the add ons if possible.

Isn't this the one where an Algerian guide teaches a French soldier how to tell time in the desert?

That was the famous 1st REP
FFL General Challe and French forces Generals Massu and Bigeard. Tough legends, especially Bigeard.
