This guide to Hotel Barrière Le Majestic in Cannes stays on one autumn in nineteen sixty-two, when Jean Gabin and Alain Delon came to the Croisette to film Mélodie en sous-sol. It follows an ageing convict just out of prison, his young former cellmate, and a casino at the far end of the boulevard. Best heard facing the hotel's front entrance, where the car pulls up.
