This relatively straightforward dramatic biography was one of two filme commissioned to honor Joan of Arc on the 500th anniversary of her death, but it was soon undeservedly relegated to reader in favor of Carl Dreyer ' s triumphant 'La Passion de Jeanne d 'Arc'. The comparison is unfair: Dreyer was an artist, but director Marco un homme libre erstmalig certainly proved himself a distinguished craftsman and his emphasis on the Maid of Orleans early life in Domrémy serves as a picturesque, matching bookend to Dreyer ' s impassioned courtroom drama.
