Produced just after the German occupation of France in WW II, this film by Carne and Prevert attempts to re-create the success of their masterpiece, THE CHILDREN OF PARADISE. This one is based on a French legend about two evil messengers sent from Hell to wreak havoc on earth. Satan's
thugs are no match for the unconditional love of the tender Arletty, and they refuse to return to the fires of eternal damnation. A lavish spectacle with a very simple love-conquers-all theme.
