I Found Several Stills From The Movie Danton (1932), Which I Couldn't Find Anyone Who Had Seen. Although

I found several stills from the movie Danton (1932), which I couldn't find anyone who had seen. Although the photos may make us laugh, here are a few that are relatively charming.

Gabrielle (she looks nice, but I can't judge her based on that alone, played by Andrée Ducret) and Georges(Jacques Grétillat):

and Camille (André Fouché):

I've seen some magazine articles from the time about the movie, and to be honest, it doesn't look all that interesting. Except that it is one of the few movies in which Gabrielle appears and I am studying French literature of the early 20th century, it might not be worth seeing. Did the actor who played Danton caricature him?

By the way, Stam & Raengo have stated in A Companion to Literature and Film that the movie may be partially based on Przybyszewska's The Danton Case, but I think this is unlikely. The play was apparently little known in France at the time, and I could find no mention of it in movie magazines. Besides, it doesn't seem to have any Stasia-like elements from any point of view. According to François Huzar, Robespierre appears to have very little in the film (the author does not seem to have seen the film itself).
