The 1939 film Pièges (Personal Column) was directed by German Jewish filmmaker Robert Siodmak during his long period of exile in France. The atmospheric and suspenseful film noir production combined the features of a light romantic comedy and a dark crime thriller. Vishniac’s image of Maurice Chevalier captures the filming of the picture’s final scene, in which the singer performs “Chansons d’Amour” before a nightclub audience.
