Pepe le Moko (1937) starring Jean Gabin, Mireille Balin. French film about gangster (Gabin) who is hiding out in the Casbah section of Algiers and eludes capture until he is lured out by an attractive woman (Balin). The evocation of the Casbah seems very convincing, although Gabin doesn't seem quite menacing enough to be a gangster. Although this film is quite old, it's still entertaining to watch. The subtitles are, unfortunately, not easy to read. Grade: B
