An Original Vintage Theatrical French 9 1/4" x 11 1/2" [23 x 29 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) La Chienne (literally translates to "The Bitch"), the classic 1931 (released in the U.S. in 1975) Jean Renoir French romantic love triangle mistaken identity painter art melodrama (based on the novel by Georges de La Fouchardiere; about an artist with a shrewish wife who falls for a beautiful sleazy woman who has a pimp, and the artist lets the woman take credit for his paintings, because he thinks he will leave his wife and live happily ever after with her, but her pimp has other ideas, and tragedy ensues) starring Michel Simon, Janie Marese, Georges Flamant, Magdeleine Berubet, and Roger Gaillard. Note that if the plot of this movie seems remarkably familiar, it is because Fritz Lang remade it in 1945 as Scarlet Street, which is another exceptional movie! This movie was considered too rough for 1931 U.S. audiences, and Lang's remake toned down the story quite a bit. Famed French director Jean-Pierre Melville said he wanted to do a remake that would be faithful to the original, but sadly, this was never made. This movie was finally released in the U.S. in 1975, 44 years after it was made! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
