Revered by such leg­endary fel­low direc­tors as Ingmar Bergman and Jean Renoir, Julien Duvivier is one of the great­est fig­ures in the his­tory of French cin­ema and of world cin­ema in gen­eral. He is per­haps the most neglected of the “Big Five” of clas­sic French cin­ema (the other four being Jean Renoir, Rene Clair, Jacques Feyder, and Marcel Carne), partly due to the uneven qual­ity of his work. But despite his mis­fires, the cream of his oeu­vre is sim­ply stel­lar and deserves to be men­tioned in the same breath as filmdom’s most breath­tak­ing mas­ter­pieces.
