Jenny (1936) DVD-R
Starring Françoise Rosay, Albert Préjean, Lisette Lanvin, Charles Vanel, Roland Toutain
Directed by Marcel Carné
Language: French with English subtitles
Print: Black and White
Runtime: 105 min
Genre: Drama
Marcel Carne's first film as director -- one of seven collaborations with screenwriter Jacques Prevert -- was this taut crime story. Francoise Rosay stars as Jenny, who manages a sleazy nightclub owned by the nasty Benoit (Charles Vanel). Jenny runs afoul of Benoit, as well as her own daughter (Lisette Lanvin), when she becomes romantically involved with gangster Lucien (Albert Prejean). Miffed, Benoit and his thuggish hunchbacked assistant (Jean-Louis Barrault) try to break up the lovers while Jenny's daughter competes for Lucien's affections. Carne had previously been an assistant to director Jacques Feyder, so it should come as no surprise that his first solo assignment starred Rosay, Feyder's real-life wife.
