— Il n’y avait pas de place pour moi… Il y a des gens qui ne croient pas au malheur. Si ça continue, je finirai par ne plus croire au bonheur. Ce doit être plus simple.

A tragedy of a film with the incomparable Michèle Morgan as the mysterious Madame X, a bored woman who wants her cake and eat it too, leading a double life… having a young handsome lover Etienne and then the comforts of her bourgeois life with husband Etienne. The story is endless and at times seems hardly plausible. The entire reason for seeing this film is the Irène of Michèle Morgan. — Pietro Antoni
