Directed by: Jean Renoir Starring: Michel Simon, Janie Marese, Georges Flamant Sometimes hilarious, sometimes brutal, and always extremely cynical comic drama from Renoir. The hero (Michel Simon, who I can actually tolerate in this movie) is a whipped, broken-down shell of a man, mocked by his colleagues, unappreciated and unloved by his shrew of a wife, and manipulated by his whore mistress. It has a lot to say about people taking advantage of each other, and about the fate of artists. The intro is quite unique and amusing. A very interesting, entertaining and worthwhile movie. RATING: 4 PROS: funny and captivating CONS: none I can think of ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021739/
