Pepe le Moko
The notorious Pepe le Moko (Jean Gabin, in a truly iconic performance) is a wanted man: women long for him, rivals hope to destroy him, and the law is breathing down his neck at every turn. On the lam in the labyrinthine Casbah of Algiers, Pepe is safe from the clutches of the police - until a Parisian playgirl compels him to risk his life and leave its confines once and for all. Julien Duvivier's 'Pepe le Moko' was one of the main stylistic influences on film noir and a landmark of French poetic realism.
