This 1945 drama, by French director Marcel Carne, was made during the Nazi occupation of France. Set among the Parisian theatre scene of the 1820s and '30s, it tells the story of a beautiful courtesan, Garance, and the four men who love her in their own ways: a mime, an actor, a criminal and an aristocrat.
A three-hour film divided into two halves, it was described in the original American trailer as the French answer to Gone with the Wind. The film was voted Best French Film Ever in a poll of 600 French critics and professionals in 1995.
