The poster features three remarkable actors who brought this timeless film to life: Arletty, Jean-Louis Barrault, and Pierre Brasseur. The image exudes an air of mystery and allure, perfectly capturing the essence of this classic French drama set in 19th-century Paris. As one gazes at the poster, they are transported into a world where love intertwines with artistry and passion collides with destiny. Arletty's enigmatic gaze hints at her character's complexity—a beautiful courtesan torn between two men vying for her affection. Jean-Louis Barrault's intense expression reflects his portrayal of Baptiste Debureau, a talented mime artist caught up in a tragic love triangle.

The Academy Poster itself is a work of art—an exquisite blend of colors and typography that captures the spirit of this cinematic gem.
