YEAR: 1938
DIRECTOR: Marcel Carne
PINBALL MODEL(S): unknown (possibly a 1938 Genco "Junior" model)
GAME LOCATION: Hotel parlor/common-area
NOTES: The pin we see in the common area of the hotel is a flipperless pre-war machine. We can see bumpers on the playfield, indicating that this pin was likely manufactured in the late 1930s, when auto-scoring bumper features were becoming commonplace.
While pinball machines would have been a regular facet of French eating/drinking establishments of the era, the specific presence of the pin in this film serves to resonate the themes of hazard and chance that govern the events of the story.
