Film Pépé le Moko (1937)

  • 449px-pepelemokoposter_large

Pépé may be from Marseilles, but now he's on the lam in the Algiers Casbah, and his hometown may as well not even exist. The thing is, when you're a criminal, crime has a way of catching up with you, no matter where you are; so do the cops, especially when you go out of your way to save a dame. Julien Duvivier's pre-war classic, equal parts gritty realism and film noir, follows the French gangster through the strange terrain of colonial Algeria and all the way to his self-inflicted demise.

– John Hood
