Not among Abel Gance's important work, but it's a showcase he could handle more escapist material and make a quality movie out of it. I liked the presentation a lot. Gance was especially good at capturing Micheline Presle, as well as any of the other beauties in here. Respectable job by Fernand Gravey in the lead as well. While the story took large leaps, Gravey pulls us back into the swing of things and make sure this becomes a quality roller-coaster ride of love and sorrow.
