It’s too easy and not so easy. When I started watching this movie, I was hoping to see some beautiful pieces from a great French artist. Indeed, the songs performed by Edith Piaf, as usual, touched the soul, but the storyline was not so convincing. The classic theme of the love polygon, where she is loved by a devoted childhood friend, she is in love with a spectacular handsome man, and he already has a beloved, reciprocating him. A banal story about young lovers who quarrel and reconcile, about how a true Talan punches its way, about the fact that for the sake of her beloved, the main character is ready for anything. To tearful melodrama, this movie does not reach, to an easy film about life in the suburbs of Paris, too. In the dry remnant, only the unsurpassed singer and views of the old Montmartre. Perhaps the whole film was influenced by the scene itself. In those days, these areas were considered a suburb of Paris, where the atmosphere of rural life with a simple and rough way of life reigned. The debut of Henri Vidal could be considered a success if his on-screen hero had more text. In 1941, when World War II was in full swing, this film with a blurred and fuzzy plot could attract only musical accompaniment, but it is not so much in the picture.
