François Truffaut's final film is, appropriately, another loving ode to film noir and Hitchcockian thrillers. A man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) goes into hiding when it looks like he murdered his wife and her lover. Unable to prove his own innocence, his spunky secretary (Fanny Ardant) takes on the role of investigator to find the real culprit. Embracing clichés in a tongue-in-cheek manor, this fun black-and-white romp takes place in a recognizably contemporary world which stylistically harkens back to the past.
