In a chaotic 19th-century Paris teeming with aristocrats, thieves, psychics, and courtesans, theater mime Baptiste is in love with the mysterious actress Garance. But Garance, in turn, is loved by three other men: pretentious actor Frederick, conniving thief Lacenaire, and Count Edouard of Montray.

Epic melodrama, and my favorite of the poetic realist movement. Arletty plays the enigmatic and unattainable Garance, around which the lives and misfortunes of four men revolve, and all the relationships orbit around the theater on the "Boulevard du Crime." It's dramatic, poetic stuff, in the most French way possible--the kind of thing that doesn't always appeal to me, but it all works here. I love the wordplay, the emotions, the yearning, and the tragedy of it all. To think that it was all made in the midst of war and occupation is truly mind-boggling.

Told in two acts with a curtain rising on both sections, this is quite a stylish, lavish even, and entertaining tale of a lady of the streets.
