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.
