Description:
Vintage double weight reference photograph of Mireille Balin and Jean Gabin from the 1937 film.
Based on the 1931 novel by screenwriter Henri La Barthe. A seminal noir antecedent, oddly produced by the French, who would go on to consider the Americans to be the inventors of the style. Remade in 1938 as "Algiers," directed by John Cromwell, starring Hedy Lamarr and Charles Boyer, and in 1948 as "Casbah," a musical, directed by John Berry, and starring Tony Martin and Marta Toren.
Notorious criminal Pepe le Moko (Gabin) is a wanted man on the lam, safe from the police hiding in the Casbah in Algiers, until he meets the beautiful Parisian Gaby (Balin), lost in the Casbah.
Set in and shot on location in Algiers, Algeria.
9.25 x 7 inches. Near Fine.
Complete collation details available on request.
