One night, Pierre Menda is walking along a country road when an American limousine pulls up along side him and a woman invites him to get in.  Pierre is surprised when the woman, an attractive blonde, offers herself to him – an offer he can hardly refuse.  Before he goes on his way, Pierre makes a note of the car’s number plate and traces its owner’s home address.  He is welcomed by two beautiful blond women, Hélène and Eva, who look virtually identical.  Because Eva is paralysed, Pierre automatically assumes that the woman who seduced him was Hélène...

I loved this movie which I saw while living in Paris. I have been looking for it for many years either in VHS or DVD. Wish I could find it. It was a wonderful film noir and wish there were more like it.
