Reception[edit]

The film received a very positive retropsective review in Le Monde.[2] Another review, also positive, recalls that Siodmak, one of the inventors of noir,[3] probably shocked the 1930s audience with this pessimistic thriller.[4] The film is also remembered for the songs it contains.[5]
