Jean Gabin's acting is wonderful. He reminds me his play with Belmondo in the great Un singe en hiver. The part with Bernard Blier is a real moment of fun. You have to see it. It is a real good pleasure.

Anyone who hasn't seen that movie doesn't know anything about the movie art. This is one of its masterpiece that makes you feel nostalgic of the time we knew what was really important in a film. Frank Capra, after few tries on former films, directed what everybody who worked, played in it considers as his biggest achievment. And anyone who has seen it- even guys who are delected by the empty hollywood big productions- have been shaken by it. A must see for thousand reasons -Stewart's performance, Mary & George 's first wedding night scene, ...- but the main one will remain a wonderful lesson about people's life. To share it with your beloved friends is the best message of love you can make.

We all know most of the value of this movie comes from the strong dialogues written by Tennessee Williams, but Richard Brooks, as usual, has wonderfully directed the play.

Everybody is impressive and the final discussion between Bricks and Big Daddy in the cellar is always rich of emotion.

I watch it at least 5 times a year and will go on this delectation.
