Dying of love..

George Lacombe's best film "Six Hommes Morts" was a Clouzot screenplay (from a S.A.Steeman novel).Clouzot's influence shows in "les Condamnés": no character to side with ,a gloomy atmosphere,gossips,anonymous letters signed "signed an "ill-wisher"".

The first scene is a celebration:a couple (Fresnay and Yvonne Printemps,husband and wife in real life) throws a party ,and everybody thinks they have been the happiest family for twenty years.But they lost their only child.And the woman is no longer in love with her man;she's fallen for a younger doctor (Roger Pigaut).

The cheated husband wants to pick up the pieces and he thinks that,by taking his wife to the places they used to be happy ,he can rekindle their love.But it's too late.The wife heeds not his plea.

Pierre Fresnay is the stand-out: he rarely looked more jaded than in "les Condamnés" (the condemned persons)
