This is a region-free DVD-R sent without case or artwork.

In French with English subtitles.

Recovering from his disastrous experience with the never-completed La Fleur de L'Age, French filmmaker Marcel Carne proved he hadn't lost his touch with La Marie du Port. Played by Nicole Courcel, the eponymous Marie is the younger sister of Odile (Blanchette Burnoy). Odile in turn is the mistress of been-there-done-that Chatelard (Jean Gabin). Upon meeting Marie, Chatelard's cynicism melts away.

Based on a novel by the great George Simenon.Gabin has a girlfriend,a cheerful sort,still attractive,but getting older.He meets her beautiful 18 year old sister.He can get as many women as he wants without doing anything drastic like getting married.He also convinces himself of the silly conventions against an older man uniting with a much younger woman.But this is only a pretext.He is thinking about her every minute.This girl is a lovely dish and he can no longer make excuses to avoid her.So at the end he is making the mistake that we all make,headed for the registry office.I am reminded of a line  from'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'.Dana Wynter and Kevin McCarthy are about to be taken over by the seed pods.She asks the older man,who is imploring them to be taken over,if they will still love each other after the transformation.He makes a profound remark about love which young people will not understand but which older people will understand perfectly,'it doesn't last,it never does'
