Description
Cast: Jean Gabin, Michèle Morgan, Madeleine Renaud
Gabin and Morgan, stars of Carné’s Port of Shadows are reunited for this marvelous love story made during the Nazi occupation of France. Gabin plays Laurent, a well meaning tugboat captain and devoted husband to an ailing wife (Renard). Never placating to the ruling propaganda, Grémillon’s use of wistful romanticism, attention to class, and a fatalistic conclusion captures the sensibility of the period.
