Would like to see and understand more about the lost film. It is spread in disorder, but it has its charm becuase of that. Shirkers was maybe a shit, the story of Cardona is better than that. Tell it to Sandi Tan...

Tan naif y temeraria, y lavada y apegada hipócritamente al génesis, que llega a tener un encanto esa coreografia para tapar con hojas y somrbas cada exposición no de los genitales, sino de la malla que los esconde.

Louis Gasnier is trepidant director, has savoir faire in the dancing scenes (the savage tango apache with Bow at the beginning is startling); starts better than ends

Pushkin in a hollywoodesque, classic melodrama tradition. George is excellent dancing and suffering, better when is deliberately forgivable. The fake marriage to decirve him is sordid, that´s the best part

Sexy naif comunism in al koljos, cherchez la femme qui est dejá engagé avec un soldat, vibrant et solide

A pitty subtitles din'dt allow to appreciate Audiard's dialogue. Gabin is excellent, arrogant, and Martine Carol and Leclerc are charming and grotesque. Francoise Rosay is french noir...

Takes time to spread interest, including Helen Morgan singing twice. A pitty that Gallian girl hadn't star power. Some idiot plot embarass proceedings. Warner woould've made it better.

Moving when you see Annabella insulted everywhere, more than when you see her struggling to go on with her daughter; as if she lacks the will and power you find in other melodramas with weak ladies...

Between sordid and refined, Gabin and Feiullere have the best Aurenche dialogues , but BB, of course, has the eyes of production and audience and the scandal of the 'secretaire' when appears nude...

Thriller with a harsh looking actor, don't know how corrupt how hero he is, because the arab egyptian political spring is spreading in the background...
