Release Year: 1952
Director: Jacques Becker
Starring: Simone Signoret, Serge Reggiani, Claude Dauphin
Genre: Historical drama, romance, crime tragedy
Plot Summary
Set in Belle Époque Paris, the film is a romantic tragedy that loosely adapts a real-life love triangle from 1902 within the Parisian criminal underworld. Marie (Signoret), a beautiful woman with distinctive golden hair, is involved with a gangster when she meets Georges Manda (Reggiani), an ex-convict trying to go straight as a carpenter.
Their instant and intense attraction sparks jealousy and an underworld rivalry with the gang's leader, Félix Leca (Dauphin). Their passionate affair ultimately leads to a series of betrayals, murders, and tragic consequences, ending with Manda's execution by guillotine while Marie watches from a nearby hotel room. The film is celebrated for its evocative atmosphere, poetic realism, and powerful performances.
Artwork
The poster, designed by artist Jean Jacquelin, utilizes a striking visual style that captures the film's tone. The artwork features a minimalist background with bold, saturated colors, focusing attention on the main characters. Simone Signoret's character dominates the foreground in a vibrant red dress, while Serge Reggiani's character is presented in a more subdued, sketch-like outline, highlighting their ill-fated dynamic and the tragic Belle Époque setting.
