1h 32m
Directed by Marcel Carné • 1938 • France
Starring Jean Gabin, Michèle Morgan, Michel Simon
Down a foggy, desolate road to the port city of Le Havre travels Jean (Jean Gabin), an army deserter looking for another chance to make good on life. Fate, however, has a different plan for him, as acts of both revenge and kindness render him front-page news. Also starring the blue-eyed phenomenon Michèle Morgan in her first major role, and the menacing Michel Simon, PORT OF SHADOWS starkly portrays an underworld of lonely souls wrestling with their own destinies. Adapting the novel by Pierre Mac Orlan, the inimitable team of director Marcel Carné and writer Jacques Prévert deliver a quintessential example of poetic realism and a classic film from the golden age of French cinema.
