This first full-length biography of him in English, shows graphically how and why Jean Gabin, almost despite himself, became, under directors like Marcel Carné and Jean Renoir, a first-magnitude actor. He details Gabin's reluctant start in show business, and his precursive part in the réalisme poétique and film noir movements of the '30s and '40s.
