Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFinal film of Annie Vernay .
- Crazy creditsThe prologue says (translation from French to English): This film is not an apology of gang's way of living. On the contrary, it a true story recounting objectively in a measured report the lives of these individuals who have their own laws and who live on the margins of society. This film tends to warn the public of the dangers and the influence it can have on credulous youths, as well as showing that the slightest bit of honesty and purity can spontaneously lead the most hardened hearts back to righteousness.
Featured review
This movie was made in 1939 but enjoyed its success during the occupation. There's a long edifying warning at the beginning of the movie.
A pimp and drug trafficker just for fun seduces a pure and chaste young maid who works in les galeries Lafayette , a famous department store ;but as it often happens, if one is to believe the screenwriters, he falls in love with her and dreams of a brand new life with her; but a rival ,the sinister-looking Fernand, is jealous and goes out of his way to thwart their romance.....
largely inspired by Marcel Carné's masterpiece "le jour se lève" , it cannot hold a candle to it, but the cast is appealing : Albert Préjean was a singer and he performs "la valse à Dédé de montmartre " ,accompanying himself on the accordion : he's credible as a cardboard big-hearted bad boy; Le Vigan is as excellent as ever as the villain ;Line Noro shines in the scene when she implores the young girl to give her back her "husband".
The Préjean/Le Vigan fight in the night is well directed.
