Movie Details
Release Date: September 3, 1948 (France)
Director: Yves Allégret
Starring: Bernard Blier, Simone Signoret, Marcello Pagliero, and Marcel Dalio
Genre: Crime drama, film noir
Plot Summary:
The film is set in the gritty port of Antwerp, a haven for gangsters, pimps, and traffickers. Dédée (Simone Signoret) is a prostitute working in a nightclub owned by Monsieur René (Bernard Blier). Her pimp and boyfriend, Marco (Marcel Dalio), is a cruel man whom she loathes but cannot leave.
Her life changes with the arrival of Francesco (Marcello Pagliero), an Italian sailor. They fall in love, and Dédée dreams of escaping her life with him. Monsieur René, who is protective of Dédée and dislikes Marco, agrees to help her leave with Francesco. However, Marco is not willing to let her go easily and thwarts their escape, leading to a tragic, fatalistic ending.
Artwork:
This movie poster, an original work by French artist Jean Jacquelin, is a graphic masterpiece of the film noir genre, using a striking blend of stylized illustration and dramatic aesthetics. The design features bold, almost Art Deco-style figures set against the moody backdrop of the Antwerp harbor, a common setting for poetic realism films. It masterfully employs stark color contrasts and silhouettes to capture the film's tense, fatalistic mood, with a prominent portrait of a young Simone Signoret.
