This is Children of Paradise, the source of all subsequent high-flown historical romances.
Children of Paradise is set in the theater world of Paris in (presumably) 1830, along the Boulevard du Temple (now the Place de la Républic), nicknamed the "Boulevard du crime" for the sensational plays performed there.
The film ends on a note of great tragedy and sadness, as Baptiste, awash in a carnival in which many of the revelers are dressed in his own Pierrot costume, is carried by the tide of humanity away from his beloved Garance, as she steps into a carriage to abandon her life and loves.

 Movie Habit: Review of Children of Paradise (1945), ****
Children of Paradise is the undisputed grande dame of French cinema: majestic, imperious, and undiminished in its seductive allure.
Directed by Marcel Carné with a screenplay by the poet Jacques Prévert, Children of Paradise began shooting under the watchful eye of the Nazis in 1943, but did not see the light of day until it was released and exhibited in two parts after the liberation of France in 1945.
In the intervening years, Children of Paradise has gone on to become one of the most adored films in French history, and is considered by many to be that country’s greatest contribution to the medium.

Set amid the swirling frenzy of the French theater world, Michael Carne’s epic length romance Children of Paradise is generally considered one of the greatest films of all time.
I personally wouldn’t use such superlatives to describe Children of Paradise, but it’s one of the few French (or non-French) epics to combine a populist (melo?)dramatic span with an intimate and intellectual examination of greater themes.
The Children of Paradise which both delicately and boldly expresses such towering concepts as love, loss, life, and art seems the product of one who has lived through such highs and lows.

Readers of Raising Vegetarian Children may encounter this scenario, but instead of a parent taking a confrontational approach to the situation, he or she will find a detailed plan and much sound advice that will aid in helping children cope with an essentially non-vegetarian society.
Instead of mocking the child or believing that vegetarianism is a temporary fad, the parent may want to heed the authors' advice with a response that begins by expressing respect for the child's decision.
Their suggestions are a mantra to be typed out and placed on the refrigerator door in any home where children have decided to be vegetarian.

However, as I should have expected with the Criterion Collection, Children of Paradise was a superb movie and when it is called a classic, it deserves this title.
Paradise is almost Shakespearean in nature (it actually takes a great deal of influence from the Bard), it revolves around the beautiful courtesan, Garance (Arletty) and four men who fall in love with her.

Marcel Carne s 1945 Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise) begins and ends with an explosion of color: Parisian street scenes, circa 1830, bursting with Technicolor motion as the camera glides along the Boulevard of Crime with its fire-eaters, mimes, jugglers, tightrope walkers, clowns and sideshow freaks.
In the 1970's, Children of Paradise (Les Enfants du Paradis) was selected by the Cannes Festival for a Cesar of Cesars and was officially designated as the greatest French film of all time.
The Children of Paradise is considered to be one of the finest French films ever made.

 dOc DVD Review: Children of Paradise (Les Enfants du paradis) (1945)
One of the most interesting artifacts is the role of Jéricho the ragman (easily the cinematic model for Watto, the parts dealer in Lucas' The Phantom Menace), who collaborates with Nathalie time and again as the catalyst of tragedy.
Image Transfer Review: While conceived as one continuous story, political and financial constraints of the era (the Nazi occupation and the collaborative Vichy government) dictated that, due to its length, Children of Paradise would be edited as two related, but separate films, with the guarantee that they would be shown contiguously.
Chosen by Cannes as France's greatest film, Children of Paradise is virtually non pareil in its own right and has inspired whatever reverence—and irreverence—it deserves, based on its own merits.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: Children of Paradise
From the beginning, Children of Paradise blurs the line between real life and stage drama, so much so that they become indistinguishable from one another.
Lacenaire prefers the farce to the tragedy and while his opening dialogue should not be taken as an absolute measure of truth and, thus, criticism against Children of Paradise, it's easy to fault the film's second half, "The Man in White," for reverting to tragedy rather than sustaining the film's poetic blitheness.
While Lacenaire may call tragedy the inferior genre, Children of Paradise isn't so much burdened by tragedy as it is by a time lapse that's very easy to resent.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Children of Paradise: The Criterion Collection
Marcel Carné and Jacques Prévert's Les Enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise) provides one of the cinema's most complete experiences.
Children of Paradise is set in the theater world of Paris in (presumably) 1830, along the Boulevard du Temple, nicknamed the "Boulevard du crime" for the sensational plays performed there.
Though Carné, because of his personal orientation and his inclination towards big-budget movies with an emphasis on decor and performance, might seem on the surface the French version of George Cukor, he was actually a modernist, with several direct links to and influences on the French New Wave.

 The Children of Paradise | MTV MOVIES
Even in 1945, Marcel Carné's Children of Paradise was regarded as an old-fashioned film.
Amazingly, the film was produced over a two-year period in virtual secrecy, without the knowledge of the Nazis then occupying France, who would surely have arrested several of the cast and production staff members (including Prévert) for their activities in the Resistance.
Children of Paradise has gone on to become one of the great romantic classics of international cinema.

 Bear : Greetings, Children of Paradise - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Though a formidable lineup of talent came together for Bear's sole album, it had neither a consistent style nor compelling material.
Another one-shot late-'60s psychedelic band, Autosalvage, might serve as a point of comparison, as two members of that group (Skip Boone and Darius Davenport) play on Greetings, Children of Paradise.
Bear's record, though, is even more diffuse than Autosalvage's in its dodges between various circa-1968 underground rock styles, made even more erratic by some aspects which seem to aim for a bit of pop appeal.

Running a little over three hours, the classic is set in early nineteenth-century Paris and is about romance and the theater, or specifically about a woman who is loved by four different men, two of whom become the most celebrated performers in France.
Its amazing period detail, its vividly felt characters, and its confident juggling of comedy and melancholy make Children of Paradise a heavenly, everlasting work of art, a movie which, in describing the joys of love and the theater, imparts them with equal measure.
Carne is both gracious and earnest in his answers to Stonehill's questions, and conveys precisely the sort of warm, good-humored personality one would imagine the creator of Children of Paradise to have.
