Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In French with English subtitles.

Port de Lilias was René Clair's first film since 1955, and his last until 1960. Pierre Brasseur plays Juju, a likeable ne'er-do-well who suddenly finds himself the "guardian" of a murderer named Barbier (Henri Vidal). When his identity is discovered by the heroine Maria (Dany Carel), Barbier wins and betrays the girl. This galvanizes the otherwise easygoing Juju into drastic action. Functioning as a Greek chorus throughout the proceedings is well-known balladeer George Brassens.

5 of 5 Gorgeous movie! July 20, 2021
Reviewer: Leigh Grieveson from Edinburgh, East Lothian United Kingdom  
I'm so pleased that your catalogue plays on my Blu-ray.
As a cinephile I find it can be tricky to get international movies that I can access on my player.
The whole 'Region' thing really annoys me.

5 of 5 Very good late film from Clair November 5, 2017
Reviewer: F. Hounder Clay from Reynoldsburg, OH United States  
Good print and subs. - Probably the best of the later films by Rene Clair. A touching films with an inspired performance from Pierre Brasseur. Dany Carrel is extremely sexy.

5 of 5 Very High Quality December 24, 2013
Reviewer: Marvin Walowitz from Los Angeles, CA United States  
I didn't know what to expect in terms of the quality of image and sound.  I ws delighted to see a very high quality dvd with excellent subtitles.

Like most all of Rene Clair's films, it is a wonderful movie.
