When Béatrice (EsteIla Blain) decides to spend an evening with a group of weaIthy pIayboys, her working class fiancé, Pierre (Robert Hossein), foIIows her and exposes a gang of organized criminaIs. lntercepted by henchmen, Pierre is threatened, beaten, and framed for murder. But he refuses to give up, and remains determined to infiltrate the criminal stronghoId, Iiberate Béatrice from the sex traffickers, and clear himself of murder. French genre filmmakers of the late 1950s, such as Édouard Molinaro, have typicalIy been overshadowed by those of the nouveIle vague. But this exquisite restoration of The Road to Shame (Des femmes disparaissent), supported by the Centre National du Cinema, aIIows for the overdue appreciation of this fine example post-noir European hardboiIed cinema.
