Plot
A husband discovers his wife's lover.
Sinekatalog’s take
Claude Chabrol's cool thriller has a husband murdering his wife's lover and slowly cracking. Stéphane Audran and Michel Bouquet are superb in a quiet, bourgeois-dissecting crime drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
