Mr. Gabin was no stranger to playing doomed men on film, and his Pépé is the grandest of the damned.

Top Criticthe film that made consummate French actor Jean Gabin a star
01/26/03
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.

08/19/02
A milestone of prewar French cinema and fun picture under any circumstances.

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