O Fiacre N. 13

Eveything has been brilliantly said by french connoisseur reviewers. Yes, it's a great pleasure to see this pure melodrama with complex story (from de Montépain, story close to his "Porteuse de pain") longing on twenty years. There are two excellent main characters played by Marcel Herrand (who never thanks or salute) and Ginette Leclerc (beautifully dressed) and two excellent second characters played by Pierre Larquey and Raymond Bussières. The rest of the casting is ok, mostly italian. Maybe that's the reason why there is a french and italian director, each directing their own actors team in their language. The french director is Raoul André who did some lousy comedies all other his career, except a few social movies on prostitution ("les Clandestines", "Marchandes d'Illusions"), et un "Shock Corridor" à la française with Francis Blanche, "la Planque"). Raoul André directed his first movie "le Village de la colère", already a drama, and then this entertaining Fiacre N13.
