Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The roles of Jean Diego and Malou were originally to be played by then-lovers Jean Gabin and Marlene Dietrich, who had recently returned to France after the end of the war. Dietrich pulled out of the project at the last minute, however, and Gabin followed her. With the rest of the cast already selected and production scheduled to begin soon, Carné and Prévert had to choose an unknown actor for the role of Jean Diego, a singer/performer who had recently had some success in the French Music Halls - Yves Montand. more

Thank God for Joseph Kosma who wrote the music., 19 June 1999
4/10

Äfter "Les enfants du Paradis"there was for the tandem Prévert/Carné only one way to go : down, and they did in that boring melodrama. This movie is only worth remembering for the musical score by Joseph Kosma, known in English as "Autumn leaves"
