Portrait of Innocence

Portrait of Innocence (French: Nous les gosses) is a 1941 French comedy drama film directed by Louis Daquin and starring Louise Carletti, Gilbert Gil and André Brunot. It was shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris during the German occupation. The film's sets were designed by the art director Lucien Aguettand. It is also known by the alternative title Us Kids, and drew uncredited inspiration from Erich Kästner's novel Emil and the Detectives. In 1948 Cecil Day-Lewis based his book The Otterbury Incident on the film's screenplay.
