Film Review
This classic tense drama, with a compelling plot by Henri Jeanson, is a fine example of
pre-war French cinema. Louis Jouvet, possibly France’s greatest theatre actor, gives one
of his finest screen performances, making this as much a celebration of the dramatic art
as a captivating study of the aspirations and frustrations of young actors.
