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

In French with English subtitles.

Although Jean-Pierre Melville had his eye on Georges Simenon's novel (it would have made an interesting comparison with his Deux Hommes dans Manhattan), it was Carné who eventually made a fairly decent fist of the story of lost French souls in the Big Apple. When his wife leaves him for a younger man, actor Ronet crosses the Atlantic hoping for work, but finds himself at a loose end until he encounters alluring yet enigmatic Girardot, seeking refuge in the city for very different reasons. While Ronet offers a variation on his role in Le Feu Follet, Girardot's rendering of a woman at a crossroads won her the best actress award at Venice. Although slightly becalmed by lengthy dialogue, the film still delivers plenty of neonlit atmosphere and a smokin' jazz soundtrack by Mal Waldron (who also appears in the film). Oh, and the eagle-eyed will spot a youthful Robert De Niro as a customer in an all-night burger bar.

5 of 5 Marcel Carne in widescreen April 11, 2020
Reviewer: Patrick Hunter from Panorama City, CA United States  
Fans of this director might be surprised by the biting cynicism of this late work.  A fascinating work and yet another example of a movie one can only get through movie detective.net.
