Nineteenth-century Paris comes vibrantly alive in Jean Renoirâs exhilarating tale of the opening of the world-renowned Moulin Rouge. Jean Gabin plays the wily impresario Danglard, who makes the cancan all the rage while juggling the love of two beautiful womenâan Egyptian belly-dancer and a naive working girl turned cancan star.
