- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It carries some interest in its curious blend of tones and styles -- it oscillates between vaudeville turns and stark tragedy."
-
"Renoir sought out balance and humanistic sympathy, reshaping the narrative so the thief (Jean Gabin) and the Baron (Louis Jouvet) bond over their mutual rebellion against the social system."
