A late-career but top-flight rehearsal of favorite themes (class politics expressed in a sexual triangle), director Jean Grémillon's feature involves the arrival of a glamorous woman in an insular community, who makes herself the object of several men's affections and sets up an incendiary rivalry between an aristocrat and his poorer half-brother. Love sweetens and sours as power realignments drive the story to its cataclysmic conclusion.
