When Béatrice decides to spend an evening with wealthy playboys, her working-class fiancé Pierre (Robert Hossein) follows, exposing an organized crime ring. Framed for murder and threatened by henchmen, Pierre is determined to infiltrate the criminal stronghold, free Béatrice from sex traffickers, and clear his name. This exquisite restoration of Édouard Molinaro’s film is a fine example of post-noir European hardboiled cinema.
