It took me 65 years to realise what a great actor Jean Gabin was. Far from typical part in this film from Jean Renoir, but he is still totally unforgettable. I have now seen him in seven films, from "La Grande Illusion to"French Cancan", via ""Pepe Le Moko", "La Bete Humaine", "Quai des Brumes", " Le Jour Se Leve", "Le Plaisir" and "Touchez pas au Grisbi", and I can now state that there have been very few more charismatic actors in cinema history. You can see why he was a legend in France
