L'affaire d'une nuit (1960)

U.S. Title: It Happened All Night.
Synopsis: A man meets a long lost acquaintance and his beautiful wife.
Appraisal: Good film, unjustly unknown. Among its main qualities are: the well written screenplay and dialogue, adapted by a duo of veterans from a novel, and the excellent musical score. The direction is competent and doesn't make itself noticed; the actors are perhaps not outstanding, but do their job satisfactorily. The only thing that may seem dated by today's standards is the absence of more explicit eroticism, given that several sexual acts apparently take place during the film. In my opinion, that doesn't detract from the film's appeal.
Rating: 55
