Les J3 (also known as The J3) is a 1946 French film directed by Roger Richebé, and adapted from the play by the same name, written by Roger Ferdinand.[1] The film's admissions in France were 2,748,441.[2] It was followed by a 1950 sequel They Are Twenty.
The play focuses on a group of high school students in occupied France during the Second World War. Whilst the students are initially more focused on the black market trade of cigarettes and stockings, a new philosophy teacher, the "charming and gifted educator" Mademoiselle Bravard, focuses them back onto their work at school, helping them all pass their final exams.[3]
