For an Evening (French: Pour un soir) is a 1931 French drama film directed by Jean Godard and starring Jean Gabin, Colette Darfeuil and Georges Melchior.[1] The film's full release was significantly delayed and only reached cinemas in early 1934. Some scenes were shot at the Le Lido cabaret, then at its pre-war location on the Champs-Élysées.

Synopsis[edit]

A sailor on shore leave from Toulon encounters a Parisian singer on holiday in St Tropez. They begin a romance but for her it is just a casual adventure while he becomes obsessed with her in a downward spiral that eventually leads him to commit suicide.
