Synopsis
Made while
Gabin was in exile in Hollywood,
Moontide is a fascinating attempt at Americanising his image, which
The New York Times summed up as "
Charles Boyer from the other side of the railroad tracks." He plays Bobo, a rough "Frenchie" with a heart of gold (and startling blonde hair) who lives in California. Although he felt uneasy speaking English,
Gabin gives a touching performance, with strong support from
Lupino.
