Ballad for a Dog

Directed by Gérard Vergez

With Charles Vanel, Julien Guiomar, Claude Génia, Colette Régis and Alfred Lenglet

Remi is a man on the verge of old age who begins to have hallucinations. He believes he has found a dog, but the canine is just a product of his imagination. The man takes a turn for the worse when his only friend, his poet neighbor, moves. He is left alone with his hallucinations and tries in vain to separate fantasy from reality in this plodding, depressing feature.
