What The Baron of the Locks Is About
Baron Jérôme Napoléon Antoine wins a boat in a card game and sets off downriver with his former lover. When things fail to go their way they get stranded in a small town, and she stays behind once a wealthy local makes her a better offer. What is left for the Baron is the woman who runs the town café. For a while. Jean Delannoy adapted it from a story by Georges Simenon. Jean Gabin plays a man who has mastered living like a gentleman without any money, and plays it with complete ease. The canal, the barge life and the provincial town are the real atmosphere of the thing. The question it leaves is whether this man is genuinely free or simply incapable of staying anywhere.
