Overview

Henri Savin has managed a trucking company for his lover, Dominique Montlaur, for many years. Now he is planning to leave her for Julie Manet, the woman he has made pregnant, and Dominique is hysterical. She first threatens suicide, then shows up at a meeting of Savin and Julie. Dominique tries everything she can think of to break Savin and Julie apart, to no avail. Frustrated in her efforts, she jumps off a cliff and dies. Savin insists that he and Julie lie to the police about the encounter, although Dominique's death was a suicide and therefore they had no direct hand in it. Detective Waldeck investigates Dominique's death.

00:18:41 Thank you.

00:27:06 Calm down.

00:33:21 Good. Can I talk to this driver?

00:34:47 But I slept under the clock. I was forced to see it.

01:11:04 Does Savin repair clocks too?

01:13:41 What did the guy see? Julie's red Austin?

01:16:30 Savin's an innocent lamb, I know.

01:21:24 -It was in the trunk. -Give it to him. Take care of his personal stuff.

01:41:28 For you.
