Quai Des Orfevres

Jenny Lamour (Suzy Delair) is a singer who is prepared to become a sensation. However, she doesn't do it in the field of music. Instead she is embroiled in this tale of intrigue which involves her accompanist and husband murdering a man who Jenny has made seductive eye contact with. Henri-Georges Clouzot directs this thriller full of rich complex characters and a dark world view, perhaps attributable to Clouzot's own experience with LE CORBEAU, his previous film which was banned by both Nazi Germany and his French homeland.

  Hope for luck
  
  Odd that some viewers seem to want a thriller in this---Clouzot didn't (as witness the 'wrap-it-up-in-15-seconds' twist ending). He and his police ... read more »
