Poil de Carotte

Writer/scripter Julien Duvivier's silent rarity─perhaps based on the story of Cinderella and itself a possible inspiration for Truffaut's "The 400 Blows"─relates the affecting story of a young boy and his relationship with his family. Though he has a loving father, the boy must endure the torments of his cold, uncaring mother and his cruel siblings. With Robert Lynen, Catherine Fonteney, Harry Baur. 108 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; Intertitles: English, Dutch, French; featurettes. Silent with music score.
