The French cast which plays
"Dedee" goes about its sordid
work with a tedious seriousness
with Mile. Signoret and Marcel
Pagliero in the dominant roles
There is no question that she
looks the part of a girl who would
have a hard time of it on water
front where the graces are not as
highly developed as elsewhere.
Ihere also is no question tnat II
Is a sincere performance. as is
that of Pagliero.
The best played part of De-
dee" probably is that of the COM
pletely evil Marco. OF him, the
actor Dalio makes a sniveling de-
mon that Richard Widmark might
we'll envy.
Most nearly pleasant Of the
creatures is the we'll upholstered
cafe entertainer, aine,
played by Jane Marker. Mile.
Marker is funny as a frowsy
blond who keeps dreaming that
after she runs through a million
counterfeits of love, she will find
the true one.
The producers of 'Dedee"
might have been motivated by an
equal fuzzy concept of reality.

town. and it leaves anacrid taste.
Someone apparently thought bru-
tally might be highly market
able screen commodity at this

Any aspiration the film may
have had to prove that Isolde and
Tristram can be found in gut
ter turns out murky flop. Dedee
and her Francesca are just
couple of small sordid lovers
whose Illustration may be actually
less than they deserved.
Art? No.
Dedee's story begins on wharf
where prettyish Simone Signoret
is walking off the anguish of a
hard night in the cabaret which
employs her.
The air of the hazy morning
looks none too stimulating, but it
should be better than that of De-
does dockside workshop. Ulti-
mately exhaustion gets her and
she returns to the cabaret for the
usual early morning supper. Here
among the other women and the
male staff members, it is quickly
established that she is the girl of
the sniveling Marco. the places
doorman who supplements his
own meager pay with a percent
age of Dedees.
There is no arguing that this
is a rotten life. Likewise, and dis
appointingly, there is no explana-
ton Of how Dedee got into it. If
she did not know better she at
least must have learned quickly
that there must be more polite
ways of making a living. At least,
more discriminating ways.
One thing that Dedee does
know, and rather to her credit,
is that men are despicable lot

spectacle of the street fights they

screenplay with particularly

crews cracking skulls, kicking
faces out of shape, gouging out
eyes and otherwise manning and
destroying one another.
Watching Dedee as she watches
the fight is not likely to endear
her to you, but it has the reverse
effect upon Francesca. lonely for
the sound of a feminine voice. he
strikes up conversation with De-
dee and almost before either OF
them can adjust to the startling
turn of events they are in love. /
This is not waterfront love of
the type with which both are
familiar. 1t is the lofty thing, like
Pelleas and Melisande knew it,
and Tristram and Isolde. At least
that is the suggestion of the film
although audiences are not likely
to believe word of it.
The oldest aspect of this ro-
nance is that it provides Dedee
and her new found friend with
scruples. Instead of just packing
up and leaving on Francesco's
ship, they turn honorable. They
have got to tell Marco who appar-
emily has burned Dedee with so
many lighted cigarettes and cuffed
