Les Portes de la nuit was almost starred by Jean Gabin

Les Portes de la nuit is a film by director Marcel Carné released in 1946 which met with critical and commercial failure. Yves Montand shared the lead role with Nathalie Nattier. The two artists played roles initially written for Jean Gabin and Marlene Dietrich. This default engagement marked a difficult stage in the singer's film career.
