Savage Triangle (French: Le garçon sauvage) is a 1951 French drama film directed by Jean Delannoy and starring Madeleine Robinson, Frank Villard and Henri Vilbert.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director René Renoux. It was shot partly on location in Marseille where the film is set.
Simon, the twelve-year-old son of Marie, a prostitute, has been brought up in rural Provence in ignorance of his mother's life but now comes to live with her in Marseille. His initial idolisation of her is disillusioned when he discovers the truth, and he hates her lover Paul. Simon comes to dream of going away to sea, and spending time with the sympathetic Captain François.
