SYNOPSIS: Jacques Becker lovingly evokes the belle epoque Parisian demimonde in this classic tale of doomed romance. When gangsterĄŻs moll Marie (Simone Signoret) falls for reformed criminal Manda (Serge Reggiani), their passion incites an underworld rivalry that leads inexorably to treachery and tragedy. With poignant, nuanced performances and sensuous black-and-white photography, Casque dĄŻor (Golden Marie) is Becker at the height of his cinematic powersĄŞa romantic masterpiece.
