Film Synopsis
Blanchard has it all - a wife, two children, an important post at the
Ministry of Culture, and a mistress to spend his Saturdays with... But
he is bored with all of it - his nagging wife, his irritating brats, a
tedious job and a mistress who is indifferent to him. How easy it
is to throw all this away when he falls for his new secretary.
When his wife finds out he has been unfaithful to her, Blanchard makes
up his mind on the spur of the moment to leave her...
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
