"Jean Gabin, one of France's most famous actors, in one of his greatest performances as a young man driven to murder through a series of tragic circumstances. Long unseen in the United States.Gabin gives an amazing performance, and Carné captures Gabin`s character in precise, profound images as the chronological order is scattered and separated scene from scene by the lighting of a new cigarette by the previous, nearly extinguished cigarette. But what will happen when the fire goes out?" Notes: a cornerstone of French cinematography. Director: Carne. Black&White. Country: France. Subtitled.
