Quai Des Orfevres

Blacklisted for his daring "anti-French" masterpiece, 'Le Corbeau', Henri-Georges Clouzot returned to cinema with this provocative adaptation of author Stanislas-Andre Steeman's "Legitmate Defense". Set within the vibrant dancehalls and historic crime corridors of 1940s Paris, ambitious performer Jenny Lamour, her covetous, piano-playing husband Maurice, and their devoted confidante Dora attempt to cover one another's tracks when a lecherous high-society acquaintance is murdered, in this classic whodunit murder mystery.
