- Synopsis:
Georges Manda (Serge Reggiani), an honest woodworker, falls in love with Marie (Simone Signoret), the moll of minor crook Roland (William Sabatier). Gangster boss Felix Leca (Claude Dauphin) orders Georges and Roland to fight a duel to the death over the girl. Felix then pins the blame for Roland's death on Georges' boyhood chum, Raymond (Raymond Bussieres), knowing that the woodworker will nobly accept the blame; this will leave Marie alone, which is what lustful Felix has wanted all along. When Georges learns he's been set up as a dupe, he plots his revenge. Based on the true-life Leca-Manda scandal, 'Casque D'Or' brilliantly mixes violence with tenderness to capture the brutality of the French underworld and the tragedy of doomed love. - Actors:

Slightly confused start with all the men having mustaches but progresses into a rewarding

Great film, Great acting - this film should be watched by more people- and now !! - Casque D'Or review by sb
So stylish - wow great photography - excellent acting- pulls you into the story and into the film.. Love it..
the pace is enthralling and the main character focuses the story around Her.. watch this film - it might make you want to see more early films- maybe event some silent movies..
A great french film and - underrated- at least fairly unknown - compared to some French films.
A great Film..
