Presenting a series of feature films reflecting some of the finest work of France's most famous and talented directors and artists
Starring Jeanne Moreau, Maurice Ronet
with Lino Ventura
A man falls in love with a married woman, and elimination of the husband is his first concern - he dreams of the perfect murder.
This stylish thriller which was awarded the Louis Delluc Prize in 1957 was Louis Malle's first feature; he has subsequently worked with Jeanne Moreau on three other films, "Les Amants," "Le Feu Follet," and "Viva Maria!" Tonight's film has a neat, crisp plot of which Agatha Christie might have been proud and the denouement contains a nicely ironic turn.
