Law of the Streets (1956)
Directed by Ralph Habib
Overview
Yves Tréguier, a young orphan, escapes from a reform school in Brittany to join “Dédé la Glace” in Paris, an old-timer with whom he has a sincere friendship. The love of Zette, a young girl he has met, and the benevolent friendship of Father Blain, the bistro owner, give him the desire for regular work. “Jo le Grec”, a pimp jealous of Dédé‘s friendship with Yves, seduces Wanda, a prostitute he loves, and shoots Dédé dead. Blain prevents him from doing the same to Yves, and shoots him in turn. Yves can live an honest life with Zette and the baby she’s expecting.
