When classy, calculating widow Blanche Ferrand (Marlene Dietrich) came to town, common contractor Martin Roumagnac (Jean Gabin) was immediately smitten-and began ruinously lavishing her with gifts.

Sole pairing for the screen legends also stars Marcel Herrand, Daniel Gélin, Margo Lion, Jean d'Yd. 116 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles.
