In The Night - 1929 - 6/10
AKA - Dans la Nuit
Life in the pit is hard, brutal. Yet, as soon as the whistle howls, he hurries.
Gets cleaned up, dashes to his wedding, and the wild revelry afterward.
He and his bride are ecstatic. Love is bliss.
Until the accident, where he is injured. Actually, disfigured. Horribly disfigured.
And true love proves to be a transient thing.
For the attractive wife soon catches the eye of another.
Shocking tale of love, treachery, accidents, Fate.
Much of the film is excess. The wedding and party is exhausting.
The conclusion? I tossed my foam brick at the screen.
