cujas Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 This film is a critically-acclaimed international film classic. And as John Daley would say, that is a no to your question. Edited by: cujas on Jun 24, 2010 8:07 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allaboutlana Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 To get all this straight and if you don?t mind, cujas, I?ve taken the liberty to get all this information together. What we know: (This film isn't a silent movie and it takes place in Paris and is a critically-acclaimed international film classic:) A well-heeled attractive Parisian woman is anxiously awaiting her lover at home. She is a little more excited than usual because it's their anniversary. The lover completely forgets the anniversary. The woman, sensing his lack of interest, pretends to be disinterested as well. After the woman fakes disinterest, the man willingly, even happily admits he bored and wants out. They reach an amiable separation. The two separate, but remain friends. She introduces him to a young woman etc.--Her lover falls in love with the new woman. The new couple get engaged and get married. At the wedding, the man's first mistress divulges the bride's sordid past.The man is dismayed.His first lover has found revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cujas Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Finance--I think you want to answer this question. Let me give you a big hint-- I believe you may have seen Cluzot's *Les Diaboliques* last week? The film that I have described is on the same level--A French film classic, apres-guerre before the New Wave. +Freebie Hint: The famous female star was Camus' Mistress. Try this info--then I'll give it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lady Eve Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Good guess, but no? Like Scottie, this man is also reluctant to do take the assignment, but does. And like Scottie he falls in love with someone he shouldn?t. Unlike Scottie, this man?s specialty has a darker aspect?his work goes beyond just tracking down the hunted?

The Lady Eve Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 More clues: this is a classic by a top director (still has projects in development) with an A-list star?it?s noirish but belongs to another genre?gorgeous leading lady whose career plummeted?
