Samuel Goldwyn Films released the first part of Antonin Baudry's two-part World War II epic "De Gaulle: Resistance" in the U.S. this weekend. The film made its American premiere Saturday at the American French Film Festival in Los Angeles, where both installments screened back-to-back at the DGA Theater. Each part runs more than two and a half hours. The screenings drew a seven-minute standing ovation from packed audiences. The film has also sold to China.
