This is a minor work in Duvivier's canon:a John Doe (Maurice Chevalier)becomes a star's protégé when he saves her life by giving his blood.But the hero's rise to fame will be short-lived.Duvivier's pessimism occasionally surfaces when he describes human ungratefulness,and there's a great contrast between the world of the chic remote grande dame (Elvire Popesco)and the man's modest old lady ,proud of her son.
Everything is relative.Duvivier used to release a masterwork a year in the thirties golden years ;along with Carné,Renoir,et al,he used to write the history of the French cinema in which "l'homme du jour" was nothing but a footnote.
