CASQUE D’OR

This rarely shown Jacques Becker masterpiece was recently voted one of the 100 best movies of all time in a poll of French film critics and historians conducted by Cahiers du Cinéma magazine. A supremely sensual Simone Signoret plays “Golden Marie,” a gangster’s moll in 1898 Paris who lures an honest carpenter into her world of pimps, prostitutes, and petty crooks—with tragic results. “One of the most physically beautiful and sensuous films ever made.” –Leonard Maltin. Subtitles. 96 min.
