This final film of Maurice Tourneur has a magical, otherworldly feel about it. This is hardly surprising with a dreamlike score by Yves Daubrier, cinematography by Claude Renoir and actors who carry with them an air of mystery, namely Simone Signoret, Marcel Herrand as her current suitor and Paul Meurisse as her former love. Watching this is akin to travelling first class in the best company.
Such a tragedy that the injuries suffered by Tourneur in a car accident effectively finished a career that had begun in 1913. There are worse films than this however on which to bow out!
