Film Synopsis
Robert Montfort is a man who leads a bizarre double life. By day,
this most ordinary of men earns an honest crust as a lowly functionary, doing the dullest of
jobs; by night, he is a popular nightclub entertainer. No one in
his entourage is aware of this, least of all is wife Solange and her
parents, who regard him with abject contempt after his failed attempts
to make his name as a poet. When Solange becomes suspicious of
how her husband is spending his evenings she becomes convinced that he
is seeing another woman. Robert's in-laws see the opportunity
they have been waiting for, to push Solange to divorce him...

The greatest French film directors
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
