The films of André Cayatte sound absolutely incredible. Does anyone know of any planned releases with English subtitles of any of his films?

I know next to nothing about them except that Bunuel used Cayatte's film of de Maupassant's novel Pierre et Jean as a template for his own 1950s Mexican revision, Una Mujer Sin Amor. And that he thought that while Cayatte's film was good, his was not.
Luis Bunuel in conversation with Tomas Perez Turrent wrote:It's the worst one I made. It was based on de Maupassant's Pierre et Jean, which Cayatte had filmed very well. I had to shoot it in twenty days, and with less money. I would have liked to see William Wyler make a film under those conditions! In fact, we followed Cayatte's film almost shot by shot, which provided a minimum guide to work with at the studio.

This makes him even more intriguing to me.
