Having holed up in a seedy Paris boardinghouse, frustrated young lovers Renée (Annabella) and Pierre (Jean-Pierre Aumont) botch their suicide pact-and pimp resident Edmond (Louis Jouvet) advises Pierre to flee. As a recovering Renée pleas for her captured man's innocence, Edmond finds himself falling for her... with disastrous consequences. Marcel Carné's long-sought slice of poetic realism co-stars Arletty, André Brunot, Jane Marken, Bernard Blier. This Criterion Collection edition also comes with brand new special features.
