GATES OF PARIS
£160.00
Original French 7 1/8 inch x 5 1/8 inch Still of director RENE CLAIR & PIERRE BRASSEUR rehearsing a scene for their 1957 Crime Drama THE GATES OF PARIS (PORTE DES LILAS), based on the novel by René Fallet.
Port de Lilias was Rene Clair’s first film since 1955, and his last until 1960. It has a more serious slant than most of Clair’s other films, ending with a death that is all the more surprising in that the director never quite prepares us for it. Pierre Brasseur plays Juju, a likeable ne’er-do-well who suddenly finds himself the “guardian” of a murderer named Barbier (Henri Vidal). When his identity is discovered by the heroine Maria (Dany Carel), Barbier wins and betrays the girl. This galvanizes the otherwise easygoing Juju into drastic action.
The still is in very good condition.
