Comedy
aka: How Did You Get In? We Didn't See You Leave
Film Synopsis
Nadège de Courtaboeuf desperately needs to obtain proof that her husband
is cheating on her so that she can sue him for divorce, thereby making her
a free woman of independent means. Being a prominent businessman, Prosper
de Courtaboeuf certainly gives the impression of having a healthy bank balance,
so Nadège has nothing to lose by hiring private detective Clovis Blaireau
to gather the incriminating evidence. Despite his obvious ineptitude,
Clovis succeeds in gaining the confidence of the supposedly wayward husband,
and is surprised to discover that his personal fortune is nowhere near as
great as he had been led to believe. Meanwhile, Nadège has begun
her own extra-marital affair, with a man who plans to end her marriage in
a far more dramatic way than she had envisaged - by having Prosper murdered...

The best of American film noir
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.
From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
