Only for Madeleine LeBeau

Meant to be shot at the restaurant Dupont in Barbès close to butte Montmartre, this film is a usual melodrama of a prostitute tracking a 47 year old bachelor, rich and pure. Directed by Henri Lepage, who did very light titles like "no mercy for stupids", "no mouse in business" or "no loot for Ricardo", this one is a bit above average thanks to the sexy Madeleine LeBeau, who played in a few classics like "Casablanca", "8 1/2", "Cage of gold". Her sexy silhouette and smiling face is fascinating as she plays two different characters, the prostitute and the lover. Henri Vilbert is convincing as the pure bachelor. Pierre-Louis is great as the hoodlum, but I found Yves Furet exasperating as the pimp, I would have preferred Georges Flamant, perfect specialist for that character. Nice song "aerial subway", music by Joseph Kosma, lyrics by Jean-Charles Renaud, with views from Barbès.
