French master Marcel Carné directed this classic film about several lonely characters with dubious pasts that cross paths at a port town. Their past haunts them like the heavy fog from the sea that's suffocating the town. French legend Jean Gabin stars as an army deserter looking to escape far away when he falls for the local beauty played by the ravishing Michèle Morgan. A small dog holds his own among the superb cast. This classic from the golden age of French cinema still holds up and shows the complete vision of a master at work.
