I love the gang Gabin has together here, wish we could have seen more of them (particularly, the mentally deranged one with the smiling habit & man constantly playing cup-and-ball). Not the best I've seen of this stuff, not the worst. Unexpectedly breezy.

Great photography, great casbah settings and another great Jean Gabin performance highlight this classic.

Good movie, but not the masterpiece it's sometimes credited as. The exotic setting and delicately atmospheric design and photography carry this a long way as an early or proto- film noir. The plot, however, is basically similar to that of 30's American gangster movies except with less action and more dialogue. The conversations are uneven, sometimes interesting and often rather boring. There are a few great scenes.

Great all-around. Gabin is a badass of a poetic sort.

Pepe is a most memorable character--and lots of great snappy lines.

Excellent film, lots of fun to watch, and obviously influential. Jean Gabin is remarkable in it.

Very fun and romantic, in both senses of the word; the Algiers depicted here is one of the most memorable settings for any movie that I can remember, and Gabin is extremely likable as the Parisian gangster. He's boyish, charming, tough, and a hopeless romantic all at once. It's a lot of fun.

Charming noir (though I guess technically it's pre-noir), Gabin is excellent as the elegant yet conflicted Pepe.

As usual Gabin exudes charm with just a tinge of melancholy, but the film around him is merely good. The events and characters are enjoyable enough to watch but the film never really packs a punch until the end, which feels rather forced. I was also disappointed by how many shots were badly focused, which was quite distracting.

Visually stunning and obviously important for cinematic history. It's also been remade and ripoffed a hundred times. Pepe is a really memorable character with snappy, witty lines but he did spawn one of the worst cartoon characters ever - Pepe le Pew.
