On a train, escaped criminal Pierre Gohelle (Paul Bernard) meets a young man named Alain Ginestier (Jean Marais), a banker who is keen to get to South America. Gohelle tells Alain he can help him to get on a boat and will meet him that evening at Le Havre, in a bar where his mistress Marie-Ange (Simone Renant) is the star of the cabaret. Marie-Ange has already arranged for Gohelle to leave the country in a boat belonging to Captain Dejanin, a man who is in love with her. With police scouring the docks in search of Gohelle, Dejanin's crew demand money not to reveal the criminal's presence. Gohelle has no choice but to steal money from Alain, but Marie-Ange refuses to allow this to happen...

Reviewer: Carl Hinrichs from Fleetwood, PA United States  
This is a fine film up until the captain of the 'Marie Ange' and his crew disappear from the film.They give wonderful performances.After that it is strictly a 'B' movie with too much unlikely stupidity.The captain allows himself to be shot for no reason,the lover and heroine allow themselves to be trapped by the killer for no reason,the killer allows the lover and heroine to take his gun from him,the killer allows the heroine to take his wallet from him,the police walk away and allow the heroine to die alone on the pavement.A lot of baloney is written about how hard it was for the French to make films during the war years.After the war was quickly settled and the French had established the good new Vichy government the French continued to make films exactly the same as they were making them before the war;with huge casts of extras and no production problems except possibly when some of the moviemakers in Paris were liaisoning with their commie comrades in the south.
