Le chat (1971)
Excellent acting, by two of the best

This started as a Georges Simenon story, and is typically brutal about human relationships. I like it so because of the performances of Gabin & Signoret - they were as good as you can get, and here are at the top of their powers. Either of them would have blown anybody else I can think of off the screen. Excellent, if very French.
Casque d'or (1952)
fan letter for Simone Signoret

This is the movie in which you can see why Simone Signoret was a movie star - she is simply dazzeling. That she later turned out to also be a extremely skillful actress is so much gravy; in this film all she has to do is stand there. For atmosphere it is similar to L'Atlante. Signoret also wrote a delightful autobiography: 'Nostalgia ain't what it used to be'!
