Pépé le Moko (1936)
Country: FR
Technical: bw 90m
Director: Julien Duvivier
Cast: Jean Gabin, Mireille Ballin, Gabriel Gabrio
Synopsis:
A criminal in Algiers eventually gets his comeuppance thanks to a woman.
Review:
Moody, poetic proto-film noir; immensely influential and more succinct than its American remake, Algiers. Memorable is the character who argues with Pépé but always backs down with: 'Ça va'.
