    No victory for Victor.

    Claude Heymann worked with Renoir and Bunuel but it does not make him an interesting director for all that ;Raimu and Michel Simon saved "Les Jumeaux De Brighton" but his co-director Yves Mirande did not help him make " Paris-New-York" a memorable effort.

    And Gabin himself,at a time when his career was on the wane ,was not able to do anything with this banal melodrama ,based on a play which must be stodgy :he fails totally to convince in his part of a good man ,ready to sacrifice his future to his friend (or to be precise,his friend's wife he loves).And what a future!no sooner had he been released from jail(on parole,but his name will be cleared ,icing on the cake)that he sold his patent for 14 million !The screenplay is full of clichés from the woman who does not want to give up luxury to the plane crash (filmed in a very cheap way)!
