The New Men (French: Les Hommes nouveaux) is a 1936 French drama film written and directed by Marcel L'Herbier and starring Harry Baur, Natalie Paley and Gabriel Signoret.[1] The film was based on the novel of the same title by Claude Farrère, which had previously been adapted into a 1922 silent film.[2] [3] The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Gys.
In the early decades of the twentieth century, a group of adventurers are encouraged to settle the southern area of French Morocco. The plot follows the rise of one of these "new men" Bourron, a former docker.
