Following various characters in a World War I P.O.W camp, Renoir's masterpiece shows the complications of class divide without resorting to stereotyping, and retaining an over archingly positive view of all people. As perhaps the greatest anti-war movie, the lesson it gives us today is we can kill, without effort, to subdue the stranger. Or we can join the stranger for a meal and a conversation, and become friends. Which of these is the true vision of the world's "leaders"?

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?
