Screen legend Jeanne Moreau stars in this twisty, mood-drenched film noir from acclaimed crime writer Frederic Dard. When wealthy industrialist Jacques Decrey (Gerard Oury) discovers that his wife (Moreau) is having an affair with a young actor, he decides to exact revenge by blackmailing her under an assumed identity. In the film’s bravura introductory sequence, we witness Jacques meticulously disposing of a corpse—just a taste of the pitch-black intrigue to follow in director Edouard Molinaro’s stylish tour de force, featuring dazzling black-and-white cinematography. Co-starring Philippe Nicaud (The Mysterious Island) and Claire Maurier (The 400 Blows).
