Though the movie is so-so story-wise, Jean Gabin's performance hooks you. It's the little things -- like his gestures to Tiny in the bar asking for money -- that blew me away. The movie itself has problems. The ending feels tacked on (I understand it was changed from the original downer ending). Some scenes feel like they are missing just a tad bit of exposition for them to really feel complete (the Doctor, for example, or Anna's back story). And I think Thomas Mitchell was miscast as Tiny -- he seems more blustery than malevolent (thw towel snapping came across as boyish pranksterism than cruelty). But I'd watch it again just to study Gabin.
