OTHER
Michelle Morgan and Serge Reggiani, two of France’s leading stars since the 1940s, return to the screen in this light romantic murder mystery by Claude Lelouch, famed director of A Man and a Woman and And Now My Love. Jean-Pierre Aumont also appears as Ms. Morgan’s husband who is robbed and killed, and the police are unable to solve the case. Unorthodox detective Reggiani is fascinated by the widow, and drawn to her even though he believes her to be guilty. Once off the force, he spends most of his time playing a game of cat and mouse with her, determined to come to know her and yet to prove her a murderess. An intriguing combination of romance and mystery, this comedy-drama unites two great European stars with the entertaining touch of one of the best French filmmakers.
