"Pot Bouille" comes just after "Voici Le Temps Des assassins", one of Duvivier's masterpiece, and it's quite the opposite, rather a light comedy of seduction (some breast nudities, Gérard Philippe seducing every girl around him) with good rhythm and very fine settings (from Versailles I guess). And sometimes tough direction by Duvivier, but "Pot Bouille" is a minor movie.
