When Pierre Chenal finished this movie, he immediately flew back to France to direct "la Foire aux chimères", having his great friend Erich von Stroheim in the cast being a strong persuasion. He didn't participate to the editing and has never seen it. I think what Chenal shot was enough precise that the version (poorly) available is quite faithful to his vision. And one of the interest of this criminal story is to see his wife Florence Marly, expressive beauty with wonderful eyes, she's magnificent in every shot. The rest of the cast is very fine. Chenal co wrote this criminal story, and as always, he found original points of view. Hope these Chenal movies from Argentina will get restored one day.
