- Summary:
- The tragic postwar romance is a tale of class anxiety and classic Romantic fatalism, run through with a typically French frankness about sex and gender. Jean Gabin is the title character, an unpretentious and proudly working-class building contractor, who falls in love with a ravishing shopgirl Blanche, quite unaware that she comes trailing a notorious sexual history and attracts the determined ardor of every man she meets. Among her current lovers is a local politician who plans on marrying Blanche once his terminally ill wife dies, but Martin doesn't care, though it's clear that the ever-opportunistic Blanche will choose wealth over love until she doesn't.
