When Eva Peron died from cancer in 1952 she was only 33 years old.
An icon in her own life time, she was the most loved, and also the most hated,
political figure in her home country of Argentina. Hers was a beauty
that could not be allowed to perish with her tragic demise, so the order
was given that she should be embalmed. Her body was preserved for posterity
but successive military dictatorships in her country did all that was possible
to efface all memory of her. Eva Peron's remains became a tool of political
power for a quarter of a century, and some would argue that she had more
power and influence when she was dead than when she was alive...

At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
