Screening as part of this year’s French Film Festival.

Jacques Prévert cowrote this atmospheric tale of the romantic trials of a tugboat captain, played by the iconic French star Jean Gabin. For André and the other members of the Cyclone’s crew, existence is harshly divided between the danger of the stormy seas and the safety of life at home with their patient women. When André meets temptation in the form of the alluring Catherine during a risky rescue, he comes perilously close to betraying his wife of ten years. 

Claustrophobic, meticulously crafted, and dominated by two great French stars of the time –Gabin and Michèle Morgan. The haunting film is distinguished by beautiful tracking shots and cunning special-effects work.
