Made in the 1930s, amidst the rise of Hitler in Germany and the Popular
Front in France, Jean Renoir had need to take license with Maxim Gorky's
source material for THE LOWER DEPTHS. Aware that the plight of Gorky's
desperates might sit uneasily in a country on the edge of war, Renoir
never lets his derelicts reach quite the depths, offering them--like in
so many of his other films--the possibility of hope. Marking the first
time the director would work with Jean Gabin (GRAND ILLUSION) and
featuring the great Louis Jouvet (QUAI DES ORFEVRES, CARNIVAL IN
FLANDERS), THE LOWER DEPTHS demonstrates one of cinema's greatest
directors transforming a classic play into his own terms for a distinct
time.

The picture is quite shakey at times. There's a VobSample included that
shows this. Includes English language subs in both SRT and SSA formats.
