Story of working class people in pre-World War II Paris., 4 January 1999
10/10
Author: Charles Jenkins from Chapel Hill, B N.C., U.S.A.

A true classic. Beautifully filmed and acted. Reveals an area of Paris which is alive and filled with comedy and tragedy. Although the area of 'Hotel du Nord' and the Hotel itself still exists, it is not as gay (in the original sense of the word) and joyful as it once must have been. The film makes one yearn for the past, which has been lost, with a sigh and bittersweetness.
