Released in the wake of World War II, (originally titled La Fille du diable ) is a 1946 French crime drama directed by Henri Decoin . Blending elements of traditional film noir with a dark, psychological study of human nature, the film stands as a compelling example of French cinema’s transition from wartime "poetic realism" to the grittier, more cynical post-war era.
