The 1951 black-and-white French film is not in very good condition, looking consistently fuzzy with fairly weak contrasts. Whether or not a better version exists, the condition under which it is presented makes it more difficult to concentrate on the film or appreciate its subtleties. The monaural sound is a bit more stable but, like the picture, still seems older than it actually is. The 115-minute program is supported by white English subtitles that occasionally get lost in white backgrounds. — dvdlaser.com
