Martin Roumagnac (aka The Room Upstairs)

When classy, calculating widow Blanche Ferrand (Marlene Dietrich) came to town, common contractor Martin Roumagnac (Jean Gabin) was immediately smitten--and began ruinously lavishing her with gifts. When she's faced with a more socially acceptable and profitable match, her realization of the true depth of her feelings for Martin would stoke ultimate tragedy. Sole pairing for the screen legends also stars Marcel Herrand, Daniel Gélin, Margo Lion, Jean d’Yd. 116 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles.
