MARTIN ROUMAGNAC - Georges Lacombe (1946)

MARTIN ROUMAGNAC – Georges Lacombe (1946)

Projet un peu à part dans la filmographie de Jean Gabin, Martin Roumagnac intéresse aujourd’hui à plus d’un titre. D’une part, par son mélange de thèmes indissociables du “mythe Gabin” : amours sublimes et fatales ; simplicité du monde ouvrier face au cynisme de la bourgeoisie ; rencontre de la comédie et du film noir à la française… D’un point de vue historique, le film est également celui sur…

[January 21, 1950] Darling, this is the time when all the warmth you've given me is starting to wear off. This is the time when I already have to resort to "photos" to find your beautiful face. Write. Alone, your letters manage to temper a little the cold of absence. I love you. I love you so much.

[January 22, 1950] I went to bed after having had a hearty dinner a second time, and I'm waiting for you. You haven't lost anything by missing Measure for Measure, believe me. I'm happy, very happy, with what you tell me about your work. I'll try to be less precise from now on so as not to exacerbate your crisis of autonomy. But you, I beg you, do as I do. Sometimes you have a poetic inspiration that opens up my stomach. I then evoke memories; for example, when, on the way back, in the car, you gently spread your free hand over my knees... and little by little... I gave in. Do you remember? Be gentle, my dear love, be at peace with all of yourself. I'm being sweet and caressing tonight. Sleep, my love. Sleep. I love you. I'm waiting for you.

[January 23, 1950] Darling, I just received your letters from Friday and Saturday. I expected them to be what they are. You're a little lost, aren't you? For some days now I haven't been talking to you in the same way? Yes, it's true; for some days now I've been feeling dry and arid like a desert, and mirages have become odious to me. But fear not, it is not serious. But I have dreamed too much since you left, I have desired you too much too, and I am emptied of my own substance.  Everything seems to be slipping away from me in a sort of frantic race towards the wave, and I don't know what kind of abstraction, and I despair of feeling so empty of joy and sorrow. Your image flees and with it life and I walk from morning to evening in search of my beloved image like a shadow searching for its body through immense desolate and icy expanses.

Yes; the wait is difficult and tiring. I'm exhausted, that's all. Don't worry about it. I wouldn't be able to find a title for your book of political essays. Forced Testimony sounds good from the point of view of the idea, but it's the word "forced" that I don't like. It's flat. I absolutely agree with you about The Exchange. In fact, I had a long discussion with Marcel [Herrand] who said that it was the best work by Codel. I don't think Gorky is a great writer. I understand your revolts in front of M[ichel] and J[anine Gallimard]. When I imagine that I could have been forced to live a long time, perhaps all my life with them my head is spinning. Yes; I accepted "Who are you?" out of fatigue and I'm sorry and angry. I would still have to make up my mind one day not to give in to that anymore.

I have not stopped talking to you with all my heart for one day and if you didn't feel it, it's simply because that day he was a little dead. But today, this morning I feel it beating shyly inside me again. I am still in bed. There's sunshine outside and my room is full of light. There you are, full of words of love and call and finally! Once again the song of "lentils and olives" comes into your mouth. No, darling, don't be afraid. I live only for you. Just forgive me for not always being alive. Take me with you, hold me tight. Courage. Patience. Write. Write, I beg you. I love you. I kiss you endlessly. See you tonight.

Marie Déa and Alain Cuny in Les Visiteurs du Soir (Marcel Carné, 1942) Cast: Arletty, Alain Cuny, Marie Déa, Fernand Ledoux, Marcel Herrand, Jules Berry. Screenplay: Jacques Prévert, Pierre Laroche. Cinematography: Roger Hubert. Production design: Alexandre Trauner. Film editing: Henri Rust. Music: Joseph Kosma, Maurice Thiriet. Alexandre Trauner's sets and costumes for Marcel Carné's Les Visiteurs du Soir were based on the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, although I was more reminded of the work of early 20th century illustrators like Walter Crane, N.C. Wyeth, and Maxfield Parrish, who were also influenced by that celebrated 15th-century illuminated manuscript. Trauner was not credited for his work on the film however. He was a Jew in occupied France, and the credit went to a "front," Georges Wakhévitch, just as, little more than a decade later, blacklisted Americans working in Hollywood were forced to hide behind their own fronts. The story of the making of Les Visiteurs du Soir is almost as interesting as the film itself.Not only was some of the behind-the-scenes work done sub rosa, to fool the Nazis and their collaborators, even the film's attempts to display luxury were thwarted by real-life conditions. Although the film was given a generous budget, the costuming was hindered by a shortage of suitable fabric, and in the banquet scenes the food had to be treated with an unpleasant substance to keep the extras and the crew from gobbling it down between takes. Even so, because the film deals with the manipulations of emissaries from the devil to the court of a French nobleman, it was taken to be a kind of allegory of the German invasion of France, and the devil played by Jules Berry to be a satirical representation of Adolf Hitler. The director and the screenwriters denied that was their intent.The film was a big critical and commercial hit in a France starved for movies -- films made in America and Britain were banned -- and while it's not on a par with Carné's 1945 masterpiece Children of Paradise, it remains a classic. Arletty is superbly seductive as Dominique, although it's doubtful that anyone would ever mistake her for the boy she pretends to be for part of the film. Trouser roles are always a problematic convention, but Arletty's "boy" looks to be in his 40s, which she was. As her fellow emissary, Alain Cuny is suitably dashing, and while Marie Déa is not quite the peerless beauty the screenplay wants her to be, the doomed love affair of Anne and Gilles gives an otherwise rather chilly film some warmth. But the film is stolen by Jules Berry as the devil, camping it up amusingly, at one point literally playing with fire. As a fantasy film, Les Visiteurs du Soir doesn't have the consummate style of Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast (1946), to which it is sometimes compared, but its moods are darker and its story may be deeper.

“[January 14, 1950]

Awful sadness. Without a letter from you today, we have to wait until Monday. (Make sure I always get a letter on Saturday. It helps until Monday.) I've read your letters again. It all ends with the one I received yesterday, which moved me so much, and in which you tell me all your doubts (Marcel's story, and three or four details that make me feel the distance between us). Yes, heavy sadness. Now it's my turn, I suppose you can turn away from me. And when I think that two and a half months are still ahead of us... But I'll try to deny that.

At noon arrival of Janine Michel [Gallimard] Augusta and Anne*. I left them my room and emigrated to the other end of the floor in a smaller but nice room too. F[rancine] moved downstairs to the small office. The house lost its silence. But I arranged my room so as not to leave it. Anyway, it's better for my rest. And tonight, I feel tired of my whole body. You, only you, could make me happy and healthy right now. Do you hear, do you hear me at least?

[January 15, 1950]

Bad alarm clock. Beautiful day. I stay in bed, unable to do anything. Disagreeable with F [rancine], foolishly and unjustly (because she misplaced a prescription!). I end up apologizing. Again the bed and solitude. And I feel myself sinking down a slope that I know well, at the end of which I will find absolute loneliness, disgust for life and the inability to see a human face.

Finally, I jumped out of bed and decided to respond with work. I will spend today sending out my late mail, which weighs me down and is an excellent excuse to do nothing ("I have my mail to do", so I don't do anything else, and besides, I don't do my mail either). Starting tomorrow, I will try to sink into the work of closing my eyes and ears to ghosts and keep myself intact until spring. Repeating every morning: "We love each other. We will triumph over everything" and do whatever it takes to make me richer rather than diminished. It would probably be easier if every now and then I had your little hand in mine. But let's not dream.

Kim's leaving me tonight. His masters are coming to get him and I feel sad at the thought too. I had become attached to that beast. Maybe because it was attached to me. He never left me an inch, lying in my room and waiting for me to wake up to clean me up with his tongue as wide as a washcloth. The eyes of dogs, their infinite trust, their inexhaustible love ... I will miss Kim.

And you, my love? From Wednesday to today I don't know what you've been up to. A black hole. Tell me about it. I suppose you must have seen Marcel [Herrand] among others. Do you know how stupid I feel? The first time I understood Marcel's feeling was a few days before we broke up and we were having dinner in front of the Mathurins. You remember that evening, don't you? I told him that we were going to Mexico together, I think it was. And I understood. A few days later, it was over for us. Of course, it had nothing to do with that, and it still hasn't. But the heart sometimes blindly seeks suffering.

Tell me what you did. Tell me also what you think, everything you think in this story. Tell me also that you love me, and how you love me, and that you will love me to the end. I need it, it's water in the desert. My love, my dear love, I turn to you, without respite, with all my being, without exception. Forgive me for this rather dreary letter. It's your silence, perhaps. But my heart is alive and it is to you that it owes it. I'll get better, I'll work... But I'll never love you better, or more, now that I'm entirely abandoned to you. I kiss your eyes, your laughter, your neck under your hair... Oh what a shower of delight it would be to be able to hold you still under me, captive and warm... you and I, at last...”

Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, January 14-15, 1950 [#129]

Marlene Dietrich and Jean Gabin in Martin Roumagnac (Georges Lacombe, 1946) Cast: Marlene Dietrich, Jean Gabin, Jean d'Yd, Daniel Gélin, Jean Darcante, Margo Lion, Marcel Herrand. Screenplay: Pierre Véry, Georges Lacombe, based on a novel by Pierre-René Wolf. Cinematography: Roger Hubert. Production design: Georges Wakhévitch. Film editing: Germaine Artus. Music: Marcel Mirouze This overheated and forgettable melodrama should have been better, given that Marlene Dietrich and Jean Gabin were lovers and were both making their postwar returns to European filmmaking. It's watchable but mainly for Dietrich, who was trying to overcome her old image as a Hollywood diva and allows herself to be filmed in natural light for once, and for a mad courtroom scene featuring a defense lawyer who behaves like a Daumier caricature. Gabin grumps about in a role that would have been better if he and Dietrich had the kind of on-screen chemistry that they supposedly had off-screen.
