The film tells the story of André Laurent, the captain of a tugboat, who is married to Yvonne, a woman suffering from a heart disease. One night, he rescues a shipwrecked vessel and meets Catherine, the wife of the ship's captain. He falls in love with her and faces a dilemma between his loyalty to his wife and his passion for Catherine. The film explores the themes of love, duty, sacrifice and betrayal in the context of the harsh life of the seamen.
The film's production was heavily disrupted by the Second World War. Filming started in July 1939 but was interrupted on 3 September due to France declaring war on Germany, with Grémillon and Gabin being mobilized. With a special permission granted, shooting resumed on 6 May 1940 but was interrupted again in June with the German army at the gates of Paris, leading producer Joseph Lucachevitch to flee to the USA while assistant director Louis Daquin and editor Marcel Cravenne took the film reels to the south of France, in Marseille and Pau.
The film was finally completed in 1941 and released in France on 27 November. It received critical acclaim and was praised for its atmospheric cinematography, realistic special effects, poetic dialogue and powerful performances by the lead actors. The film was also a commercial success and became one of the most popular French films of the early 1940s.
The film is considered as one of the masterpieces of French cinema and one of the best examples of poetic realism, a style that emerged in the 1930s and influenced many filmmakers around the world. The film has been restored and released on DVD by The Criterion Collection in 2010.
