Nineteenth-century Paris comes vibrantly alive in Jean Renoir’s exhilarating tale of the opening of the world-renowned Moulin Rouge. Jean Gabin plays the wily impresario Danglard, who makes the cancan all the rage while juggling the love of two beautiful women—an Egyptian belly-dancer and a naive working girl turned cancan star.

Directed by Jean Renoir. Starring Jean Gabin, Françoise Arnoul, María Félix, Anna Amendola and Jean-Roger Caussimon.
