Director: Julien Duvivier

Trapped by a police raid while slumming in the native section of Algiers, a playgirl encounters the boss of the labyrinthine Casbah, Gabin’s French crook-on-the-run Pépé le Moko. Duvivier transformed a pulp novel into a landmark of French poetic realism. “One of the most purely enjoyable films ever made, a doomed modernist romance… one of the undeniably influential movies of the last century...A picture to watch while falling in love.” —Elvis Mitchell, The New York Times
