Inhalt: |
When Béatrice (EsteIIa BIain) decides to spend an evening with a group of weaIthy pIayboys, her working cIass fiancé, Pierre (Robert Hossein), foIlows her and exposes a gang of organized criminals. Intercepted by henchmen, Pierre is threatened, beaten, and framed for murder. But he refuses to give up, and remains determined to infiltrate the criminaI stronghold, Iiberate Béatrice from the sex traffickers, and cIear himself of murder. French genre fiImmakers of the late 1950s, such as Édouard Molinaro, have typicaIly been overshadowed by those of the nouveIIe vague. But this exquisite restoration of The Road to Shame (Des femmes disparaissent), supported by the Centre NationaI du Cinema, aIIows for the overdue appreciation of this fine example post-noir European hardboiIed cinema.
