Review of Pépé le Moko (1937) by Stella D — 11 Oct 2009
Atmospheric and cynical proto-noir with an iconic performance by jean gabin as the tragic antihero trapped by his illusions. just a few years later, hollywood would remake this almost shot for shot as algiers with charles boyer, changing only the ending.
fools. btw this was released in 1936, not 1941 as flixster would have us believe.
