Interesting movement holds through the entirety. Life in the native quarter, with its squalor and intrigues, is particularly well presented and photographed.

Director Julien Duvivier took the conventional mix of love and bullets and made it into dark poetry.

You have to like a movie that was the true inspiration to that famous animated skunk Pépé le Pew.

It's not just an important film; it's also great entertainment, a compelling screen romance -- and one of the best places to see hunky Jean Gabin at the height of his career.

An irresistibly entertaining drama of dreamy, doom-laden romantic fatalism, a vividly atmospheric film noir years before noir was cool.

The French original has it all over on the Hollywood version in the way it conveys atmosphere.

Pepe le Moko, made in 1937, begins with that tinny, swooning French soundtrack music that conjures up European movies before the war, but it isn't until a few minutes later that you realize you're in for something special.
