Realising a dishonest deal has been found out a diamond merchant commits suicide, leaving the gems in question for his wife who - knowing the business from the time before drink largely took over her life - decides to sober up and sell them herself.
Despite a pedestrian pace and an obscure plot this movies wins solely through Deneuve's outstanding performance.
Halliwell**: "Elegant, intriguing French thriller that provides Deneuve with probably her best role, as a pressured woman recovering her dignity and abilities."
Maltin***: "Deliberately paced story works both as low-key thriller and character study, anchored by Deneuve's excellent performance."
