Marcel Carn is widely regarded as one of the standard bearers of French quality cinema of the 1930s and 1940s, responsible for such masterpieces as Quai des brumes (1938) and Les Enfants du Paradis (1945). How ironic then that, in 1958, towards the end of his film-making career, he should make a film which dared to portray the attitudes and behaviour of the 1950s youth, in a way that effectively captures the mood and sentiment of the time. Les Tricheurs was a hugely controversial film, not least because of its blatant depiction of adolescent free-love, and was even banned in some regions of France. It also received some intensely unfavourable reviews, most notably from the young hotheads on the Cahiers du cinma such as Franois Truffaut who cited this film as a prime example of the decline of French cinema into mediocrity. In spite of all this negative press, the film proved to be an astonishing commercial success, attracting five million cinema-goers, and was awarded the Grand Prix du Cinma franais in 1958. Whilst Les Tricheurs is not as flawless as Carn's earlier masterpieces, it is nonetheless a significant work, having the power to both shock and move its audience, whilst having great entertainment value. It evokes the mood of its time in a way that few French films of this period did, depicting young people as pleasure-seeking rebels, rejecting the austerity and discipline of the previous generation whilst pursuing a life without cares, responsibilities or love. Similarities with James Dean's films of the 1950s (most notably Rebel without a Cause) are apparent, although Carn's treatment of young people is far more abstract - in his film they merely symbolise a world that has lost its way, more or less victims of post-war prosperity. Although the young people in Les Tricheurs lack the authenticity to be totally credible, the film does make an important, and indeed quite disturbing point, about where the permissive society may be heading. Much of the pleasure of the film is in the performances from its four lead actors, Jacques Charrier, Pascale Petit, Laurent Terzieff and Andra Parisy, although only Terzieff is really convincing in his role. Marcel Carn originally considered Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo for the parts of Bob and Alain respectively, before opting for Charrier and Terzieff. As a consolation, Carn offered Belmondo a smaller part in the film - alas too small for the actor to be noticed by the public. Belmondo's breakthrough had to wait until the following year when he starred in Jean-Luc Godard's revolutionary A bout de souffle, a film which offers a very different perspective of the youth generation.封天忽然感觉到身后有一双视线在紧紧的盯着他,因此急忙转头望了过去。“怎么能说是动用私刑吗,这只是普通的民事纠纷而已,我同他两人发生个人冲突,公安局介入调查而已。”林茂撇了撇嘴道。“呃····那个那个!呵呵···你只要滴一滴自己的血便可。”说完老脸微红。毕竟自己以前对空间戒指只是随口说了一下,没给楚乘风说过怎么用这东西。缓过神来,女人赶紧说道“是严家家主严正章,因为他女儿喜欢顾梓萱眼睛,所以严正章以五十万买下顾梓萱双眼,还花数千万请来国外最顶尖的眼科博士进行手术!”
