La belle marinière

Two years before "l'Atalante", Harry Lachman directed "la Belle Marinière" with a similar story, a young couple living in a barge after their wedding. There are great young actors, Pierre Blanchar, Madeleine Renaud (don't miss her sexy scene) and Jean Gabin. "La Belle Marinière" anticipates "l'Atalante" and the Gabin masterpieces, but he is not yet a nasty boy, except in a fight scene with Pierre Blanchar. The most interesting about this movie lost for 80 years are the locations scenes shot by the master Rudy Maté, so many scenes are astounding, like the wedding or the end. The director Larry Hachman was a France lover and he painted magnificent french landscapes, we can say he tried to do the same in this movie. There are four reels missing in that long lost movie, we hope they will emerge some day from a cinematheque. Thank you to the searcher who found that ghost movie.
