The film is set in the Belle Époque era of Paris and is known for its depiction of the criminal underworld and a tragic love story.

The film delves into themes of love, jealousy, loyalty, and the consequences of a life of crime. It also portrays the tough and gritty atmosphere of the Parisian criminal milieu during that period.
One of the notable aspects of "Casque d'Or" is its visual style and attention to period detail. The film captures the ambiance of early 20th-century Paris, and the cinematography by Robert Le Febvre is praised for its evocative and moody lighting.
Simone Signoret's performance as Marie received critical acclaim, and the film is often remembered as one of the iconic works of French cinema from the 1950s. It is considered a classic of French film noir and has a lasting reputation for its tragic and emotionally charged narrative.
"Casque d'Or" remains a significant film in the history of French cinema, celebrated for its portrayal of complex characters and its exploration of the darker aspects of human nature within the context of a criminal underworld.
