After being trained to kill by the Resistance, Rene Le Guen, an illiterate, drunken young man brought up in the slums, returns home -- where he continues murdering. Finally arrested for shooting a policeman, Rene is tried and sentenced to execution, then sent to prison to meet his fate. With other condemned men, Rene learns of the dread and utter misery of waiting for a grisly guillotine death that, by the laws of the land, can occur any night without warning.

Cayatte’s judgments are harsh, unmollified by computed evidence; his script is loaded, yet its critical observations are maintained with strict responsibility to the world of his subject. Go to Full Review Cassandra (William Connor) Daily Mirror (UK) 11/30/2021
The film is the case against capital punishment. It is almost unbearable in its force and its wisdom. Go to Full Review Josephine O'Neill Daily Telegraph (Australia) 03/26/2019
