Somewhere in the French provinces (filmed in Saint-Dizier), building contractor Martin Roumagnac (Jean GABIN) is a really big player in town. But he only really blossoms when the beautiful widow Blanche (Marlene DIETRICH) shows up. But she has her own agenda in her head...
A little provincial story that takes place before the war! The cast makes it super exciting: Hollywood star DIETRICH and France's cinema legend GABIN in one film. Both were still in a relationship at the time. And it was also DIETRICH's first film in Europe after a decade and a half. This star power gives the film additional weight.
Other roles include the later THE LEGACY OF THE GULDENBURG star Daniel GELIN as a young teacher, Margo LION and Marcel HERRAND.
