Rue de l'estrapade
1953 Comedy / Drama
Review
Whilst not in the same league as some of Jacques Becker’s better films (most notably
Casque d’or, which was made
immediately before this one), Rue de l’estrapade is a pleasing example of mid-1950s
French melodrama. Becker had the good sense not to dress the film up as anything
other than a straightforward romantic drama, and most of its charm is in the performances
of the three leading chic young actors, Anne Vernon, Louis Joudan and Daniel Gélin.
