Obscure Marcel Carne film from 1938, the peak year of French "poetic realism"—shadows and soliloquies. Arletty plays a prostitute, Louis Jouvet her pimp; both are holed up in a riverside hotel where Annabella and Jean-Pierre Aumont are considering a lovers' suicide. In French with subtitles. 95 min.
