'Under the Sky of Paris' (French: 'Sous le ciel de Paris') is a 1951 French drama film directed by Julien Duvivier.

It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris and on location around the city. The film's sets were designed by the art director Ren Moulaert. The song of the same name, later recorded by dith Piaf and others, was written for this film by Hubert Giraud (music) and Jean Drjac (lyrics). In the film it was sung by Jean Bretonnire.

Plot



Under the sky of Paris, during a day, we see large and small events that occur in the lives of several people whose fates will intertwine. A poor old lady, after searching in vain all day to feed her cats, receives an unexpected reward from a mother whose daughter she had found. A young girl, dreaming of love, refuses the advances of her childhood friend to be stabbed to death by a sadistic sculptor. The latter is shot by a policeman who accidentally injured a worker who was returning home after the successful conclusion of a strike. Rushed to hospital, the injured worker is saved through the first open-heart surgery performed by a young surgeon who has just failed his intern exam.
