Quand la femme s'en mêle
1957 Crime / Thriller   

 

Review
This fairly standard crime thriller Yves Allégret has an exceptional cast, including Edwige Feuillère and Jean Servais.  A young Alain Delon distinguishes himself in his first film role, playing the kind of character he would become most associated with in the following few decades.
