Marcel Carne's classic work of poetic realism ...

Gorgeously melancholy, and not just because of its tragic love-triangle plot ...
Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice

This prototype of film noir, from 1939, is both a grim feast of prewar French acting and a catalogue of French moods on the eve of disaster.
Richard Brody, New Yorker

The story is excellently conceived and planned.
