That such an obscure movie may already have two reviews by non French users is downright surprising;Willy Rozier is completely forgotten in his native country,and he does not even have a small cult following.
Like in the stupefying "le Bagnard" ,its follow up,"56 Rue Pigalle" praises act keeping in with moral standards.
Beginning as a routine love triangle,with a cuckold so generous he almost becomes stupid ,the movie turns thriller before almost verging on supernatural.
"You got away with the human justice!you won't get away with mine" the cheated husband curses the lovers as they leave the court.
The lovers fly to Africa where they become seriously ill;is the husband's revenge from France?Is it a divine intervention? Something like voodoo? One thing for sure,Willy Rozier believes that man can redeem his soul: in "Le Bagnard",doctor Geronimo (sic) is sent to a penal colony (which we never see by the way)and must help his fellow men who suffer from yellow fever before being a true man again;in "56 Rue Pigalle",the two lovers are suffering and are almost dying;and maybe these sufferings will be their salvation.
Acting is unexciting ,including Marie Dea (this actress' best movies are "LES Visiteurs Du Soir" " Orphée" and the overlooked "Pièges" remade as "lured" )
