La Marie du port (Marie of the Port) is a 1950 French crime film directed by Marcel Carné and starring Jean Gabin, Blanchette Brunoy and Nicole Courcel. The screenplay was written by Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes and Jacques Prévert, based on the 1938 novel of the same title by Georges Simenon. The music score is by Joseph Kosma and the cinematography by Henri Alekan. It was made at the Saint-Maurice Studios in Paris and on location around Cherbourg in Normandy. The film marked a comeback for Carné after the poor reception of his previous film Gates of the Night in 1946 and several subsequent unsuccessful attempts to launch projects.
