Gates of the Night

Gates of the Night French Les Portes de la nuit is a 1946 French film that was directed by Marcel Carn. It starred Serge Reggiani and Yves Montand. The script was written by Carns longtime collaborator Jacques Prvert. The film made its debut in the United States four years after its official release in France. It introduced the muchrecorded popular song Autumn Leaves French Les feuilles mortes.

Les Portes de la nuit was released in the United States four years after it was first shown in France, where this psychological urban drama, especially due to its depiction of postwar Paris and closetodejected characters did not break the box office. It has been said that this is not Yves Montands best performance, probably because this was only his second film. Overall, Les Portes de la nuit is considered hollow by many with regard to the plot however, the settings are considered to be fascinating.
