EspañolISN'T LIFE A BITCH?
(Redirected from La Chienne)
'''Isn't Life a Bitch?''' is the English-language title of ''La Chienne'', a 1931 French film by director Jean Renoir. It is the second sound film by the director and the twelfth of his career.
Michel Simon plays Maurice, a married cashier, and Janie Marèse plays Lulu, a streetwalker. A chance meeting between Maurice and Lulu causes Maurice to fall in love with Lulu. She, however, is in love with her boyfriend/pimp, Dédé (Georges Flamant). Together, Dédé and Lulu plot ways to get Maurice to give cash to Lulu, mostly at the behest of Dédé.
★ Michel Simon as Maurice Legrand
★ Janie Marèse as Lucienne Pelletier

★ Roger Gaillard as Alexis Godard
★ Romain Bouquet as Mr. Henriot
★ Pierre Desty as Gustave
★ ''Isn't Life a Bitch?'' was remade as ''Scarlet Street'' by Fritz Lang in 1945.
★ François Truffaut twice pays hommage to ''Isn't Life a Bitch?'' in his first full-length film, ''The 400 Blows''. In the first reference, Georges Flamant makes a cameo as the father of René. In the second, Truffaut begins a scene with a shot involving a dumbwaiter; Renoir began ''Isn't Life a Bitch?'' with a similar shot.
