Cécile, a stunning cover girl, is married to Philippe, but the only
thing the marriage offers her is security. The passion has long since
gone out of the relationship and now Cécile languishes in boredom.
Love re-enters her life one 14th July, when she meets a good-looking man
named Vincent. It is love at first sight. A modelling job takes
Cécile to London, where she meets up with Vincent again. With
no chance of their liaison being discovered, they both surrender to their
amorous desires. Eventually, the time comes when Cécile must
choose whether to return to France and a lifetime of marital monotony or
else embark on a new life with the man she truly loves...

In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
