Add to a movie listLa Fleur de l'âge est un film inachevé de Marcel Carné. Il reprend le scénario écrit par Jacques Prévert, pour un précédent projet, film que Carné aurait dû alors tourner sous le titre l'Île des enfants perdus (1937). Le scénario s'inspirait de l'histoire d'une révolte d'adolescents détenus au bagne d'enfants de Belle-Île-en-Mer (1934), lors de laquelle les autorités organisèrent, pour récupérer les fugitifs, une chasse avec prime à laquelle participèrent habitants et touristes. Peu après cet événement, et avant d'entreprendre ce scénario, Prévert écrivit le poème La Chasse à l'enfant, que Joseph Kosma mit ensuite en musique.
Une vingtaine de minutes de la Fleur de l'âge auraient été montées. Dans une interview de la revue Cinématographe (numéro 108, mars 1985), Arletty explique que près de la moitié du film a été tourné. Sur la raison de l'arrêt de la production, elle dit « c'était fini, c'était raté, et voilà. Cela arrive dans la vie, pour les plus grands trucs... »
De ce film ne restent que les photographies de plateau prises par Émile Savitry.

Children of Paradise is divided into two epochs, Boulevard du Crime ("Boulevard of Crime") and L'Homme Blanc ("The Man in White"). The first begins around 1827, the second about seven years later. The action takes place mainly in the neighborhood of the Boulevard du Temple in Paris, nicknamed "Boulevard of Crime" because of all the melodramas and bloody scenarios offered to the largely plebeian public each evening. There are two principal theaters: the Théâtre des Funambules ("Theater of Tightrope Walkers") specializes in pantomime, since the authorities do not allow it to use spoken dialogue, which is reserved for the "official" venue, the Grand Theater.
