Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Gervaise is a 1956 film from France directed by Rene Clement.It is based on the novel L'Assommoir by Emile Zola, and the setting is Paris in the 1860s and 1870s. Gervaise (Maria Schell) is a washer-woman whom, as the film opens, is trapped in an unfortunate relationship with a man named Lantier. Lantier has not bothered to marry Gervaise despite being with her for many years and fathering two children with her, and he cheats on her flagrantly. While Gervaise is working at the washroom, Virginie (Suzy Delair), sister to Lantier's latest girlfriend, shows up and taunts her. A cat fight ensues which ends with Gervaise humiliating Virginie, who vows revenge.In the meantime, Lantier up and leaves Gervaise without warning. Gervaise is left a struggling single mother with two children, so at first, she's very happy when she is romanced by a roofer named Coupeau. They marry, they have a daughter, and Coupeau works as a roofer while Gervaise saves up for her dream, opening her own laundry. Gervaise seems to have found happiness—but one day Coupeau falls off a roof and shatters his leg. He's unable to work, and he turns to drink. He becomes a full-blown alcoholic, and things get worse, and worse, and worse.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Blind People Wear Sunglasses: A blind beggar wearing sunglasses is shown outside the church where Gervaise and Coupeau get married. In the only joke in this otherwise unrelentingly grim movie, the beggar is revealed to be faking. He flips around the "BLIND" sign on his chest to one that says "DEAF AND DUMB." | |

The Alcoholic: Coupeau takes to drink when he's laid up in bed after his injury, no longer able to work as a roofer. He spirals down into alcoholism, the decisive turning point that ruins both his and Gervaise's life. At the end, when he's going through DTs, he freaks out and wrecks the whole shop. | |

Call-Forward: At the end, Gervaise's little daughter Nana puts a ribbon in her hair. She goes skipping down the street as local boys dash after her. The book that this film is based on, L'Assommoir, was part of a 20-novel Generational Saga written by Emile Zola. Two books later came Nana, one of Zola's most famous novels, in which the cute little girl in this movie has grown up and become a prostitute. | |
