Sunday film:
CASQUE D’OR (French, 1952), finds director Jacques Becker in top form.
It’s a story, lushly set around 1900, of doomed love involving a kept woman who abandons the criminal underworld for an unassuming carpenter.
Superb acting, esp. Simone Signoret.
Amazing ending.

It’s such an incredible example of French cinema.
And the scene of her taking the room to watch his fate is seared into my brain.
I need to see more of Becker’s films.
