CASQUE D’OR

(1952, Jacques Becker) Murder among the “apaches” in 1898 Paris: carpenter Serge Reggiani falls for cabaret enchantress Simone Signoret (“intensely, ripely physical” – Pauline Kael) takes on her lover, and then must face doom for a friend. Becker’s masterpiece, with the most excitingly pure filmmaking of the cinéma de qualité. Approx. 94 min. 35mm
