This movie had a 'Partie De Campagne' feel about it to me at the beginning, and it intrigued me to watch more. Particularly because Simone Signoret looks so incredibly graceful here as opposed to her hard-faced, no nonsense character in 'Les Diaboliques'. Playing a gangster's moll she is mesmerised by the presence of a young man who has just been released from jail and who is known to her boyfriend (one of the leaders of the gang) who is infuriated with her growing closeness to him.
The acting is really very good, and special praise must go to Serge Reggiani who plays the ex-con that Marie (Signoret) falls in love with. A great 'Bell Epoque' affair.
