The Eye of Vichy (French: "L'Œil de Vichy") is a 1993 film directed by Claude Chabrol. The documentary is about propaganda produced in France under German control during World War II from 1940 to 1944. The film documents the pro-German sentiments of Philippe Pétain's Vichy regime and its efforts to spread propaganda against both the Allied Forces and the Jews. It contains authentic newsreels, advertisements, and feature-film footage produced by the Germans and their French collaborators.
