Quai des Blondes stars Michel Auclair as a handsome cigarette smuggler named Jacques. When his boat is robbed of its cargo, Jacques knows better than to turn to the cops. The remainder of the film could be subtitled "The Revenge of Jacques," as our anti-hero gets even with his foes. As the title indicates, Jacques also finds time for romance -- two romances, in fact, seemingly conducted simultaneously. The ladies in question are played by Barbara Laage and Madeleine LeBeau, the latter best known to American audiences for her performance as glamorous camp-follower Yvonne in Casablanca. Quai des Blondes was lensed on location in Marseilles and Algiers.
