Les dents longues (1953)

 English title: The Long Teeth

The film narrates the trajectory of an ambitious jounalist from a small town, from his professional beginnings until he becomes editor-in-chief. The conflict between his professional life and his marriage is expounded.

This is a very honest and realistic drama, though not an extremely engaging one. Perhaps the political intrigues which are an important part of the plot will be better understood by reading the novel (which I haven't). But it's an interesting movie all the same, with fine actors and an interesting subject matter.

Rating: 51
