Film: Pépé Le Moko (1937)
21 Mar 2007, 7:30 p.m.
Pepe Le Moko might be why Film Noir got its French genre title, and conversely it was a kind of homage to American gangster flicks. Hanging out in the Casbah area of Algiers, Gabin plays a Machiavellian game with a detective keeping his eyes on the criminal. But is the beautiful dame Gabin has a crush on worth risking his freedom for?
