Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Manon (French pronunciation: [manɔ̃]) is a 1949 French drama film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot and starring Serge Reggiani, Michel Auclair and Cécile Aubry. It is a loose adaptation of the 1731 novel Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prévost. Clouzot updates the setting to World War II, making the story about a French Resistance fighter who rescues a woman from villagers convinced she is a Nazi collaborator. The film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and was a popular success with over three million tickets sold in France. It was shot at the Victorine Studios in Nice. The film's sets were designed by the art director Max Douy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
