(The Lower Depths) starring Louis Jouvet
Jean Gabin , Suzy Prim
The Baron, ruined by gambling and women, returns home one evening to discover an uninvited guest - Pepel, a burglar. Explaining his penniless condition, the Baron insists on entertaining the intruder. He learns of Pepel's life in a sordid disreputable lodging house - ' the lower depths' that he, too, is destined to enter.
