La Loupiote

1937 · 87 min

A quiet, old-fashioned melodrama that leans on sentiment and sorrow more than incident, asking patience as it unfolds.

Overview
Little Germaine Valcour, an adulterine child, is abandoned and taken in by a showman, Father Ballot. She becomes the consolation of the good man whose daughter has gone wrong. Madame Vaulcour died of grief while her lover, after many bad blows, takes justice into his own hands. The girl stays with her adoptive parents.
