A superb example of French poetic realism.

What brings this film into greatness is the absolutely pitch-perfect lucid performance by Gabin.

Possibly the best of the Carné-Prévert films, certainly their collaboration at its most classically pure.

The pity of it all seems slightly forced, the melodramatics too obvious.

This is the best of the fatalistic dramas scripted by Prévert and directed by Carné, a doom-laden romance, heavier on atmosphere than tension, and made memorable by the performances.

The screenplay is by Jacques Prevert, the most accomplished dialogist of the period, and the famous sets, with their overtones of German expressionism, are by Alexander Trauner.
