LA BĘTE HUMAINE, starring Jean Gabin as railroad engineer Jacques Lantier, is an adaptation of the Emile Zola classic whose characters are driven by rage and lust. Lantier is obssessed with Severine, the beautiful wife of stationmaster Robaud. When Robaud's hatred for Grandmorin, the wealthy and powerful man who had deflowered his wife as a young girl, leads to murder, Lantier is a witness. Should he tell what he knows, or will Severine make him an offer he can't refuse? (official distributor synopsis)
