The Lovers of the Pont Saint-Jean

Directed by Henri Decoin

With Gaby Morlay, Michel Simon, Nadine Alari, Odette Barancey and Pauline Carton

On the banks of the Rhône, not far from Tain l'Hermitage, Alcide Garonne, an old ferryman - and incidentally a poacher - lives out of wedlock with Victorine Rousset nicknamed Maryse, a colorful tramp. When Garrone's son, Pilou, a worker, falls in love with Augusta, the mayor's daughter, the unconventional old couple tries to protect the unconventional young pair from the disapproval of self righteous villagers.
