Plots(1)
Paris, the 1880s: a natty, middle-aged nightclub impresario named Danglard (Jean Gabin) is between engagements, and liaisons, at the moment. But he has a vision of reviving the cancan, the high-kicking dance that has fallen into disuse. He becomes convinced that he can lead this revival by casting a laundress (Francoise Arnoul) in his new show at a club called the Moulin Rouge. (official distributor synopsis)
