10 French Film Classics
Le Quai Des Brumes - 1938
The key reason for watching Port of Shadows, as it was known in English, is to discover France's first cinematic superstar, Jean Gabin. The undisputed icon of French cinema for over 20 years, Gabin was a ferocious mix of Spencer Tracy and Humphrey Bogart, and after huge success in France in the 1930s, he was one of the first French actors to make it on a world scale, finally accepting Hollywood offers after the war. Quai Des Brumes, a moody evocative tale of an army deserter, also paved the way for the film noir style that would dominate in Hollywood over the next decade.
