Review by Library Journal Review

Often referred to as "the Gone with the Wind of France," Marcel Carn's romantic tale traces four disparate men in love with a beautiful but aloof courtesan amidst the 19th-century Paris theater scene. Previously available in poorly reproduced versions, this video restoration represents the best transfer to date. Extras in the two-disc DVD set include an audio commentary, theatrical trailer, restoration demonstration, and more. For all collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
