Gervaise

 

Maria Schell was such a star in this. She gave one exceptional performance in this. She plays a poor woman who runs a laundry. However, her husband is a drunk. Life seems good when a good man comes into her life but she messes this up too. Eventually, Gervaise ends up a drunk. Life has just beaten her down. I see that Maria's brother Maximilian Schell made a documentary about her. I need to watch it along with the few movies of Maria Schell that have been released.
