Initially released during France’s cinematic Golden Age in 1937, Julien Duvivier's timeless romantic thriller starring notable French talent Jean Gabin is deemed by critics as one of the most enjoyable films ever made. It was remade twice in the US and had a clear influence on Graham Greene’s Brighton Rock and Gillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle of Algiers. The influential classic returns to the silver screen now fully restored from February 26 in France and is available on home entertainment.
