Midnight... Quai de Bercy

1953 · 95 min

A shadowy, talky French crime drama that unfolds like a stage-bound puzzle, with a fatalistic mood and a sting in the tail.

Overview: Having recently moved into her new apartment, Irène Cazenave, the widow of a well-known police officer, is forced by one of her husband's colleagues to take part in an investigation. The building's provocative concierge has been found murdered. We watch a parade of suspects, only to learn at the end that Irène killed the janitor under blackmail. She kills herself.
