L'instinct

Between the feelings of the man who believes himself to be deceived and of the surgeon's instinct, it is the latter which triumphs in Doctor Bernon, who saves the man presumed to be his wife's lover. He then realizes that this is not the case and that she is still worthy of him.

Directed by Léon Mathot, André Liabel, L'instinct leans on a strong ensemble — Léon Mathot, Madeleine Carroll, André Marnay — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1930.
