Genre: Foreign / Mystery

Cast: Suzy Delair, Bernard Blier, Louis Jouvet, Simone Renant, Charles Dullin, Rene Blancard, Pierre Larquey, Jean Daurand, Claudine Dupuis, Robert Dalban
Singer Jenny Lamour (Suzy Delair) yearns to be a star and consorts with a rich "dirty old man" to get ahead, which makes her husband, Maurice (Bernard Blier), jealous. Maurice even goes to the man's estate with a gun, finds the man already killed, and also finds that Jenny had smashed a bottle of champagne over the man's head when he had made a sexual advance. Thus, this excellent Hitchcock-like mystery begins with Maurice being the prime suspect.
