English title: The Smiling Madame Beudet
A married woman lives in a chronic state of boredom and develops a disliking towards her husband as she daydreams about a celebrity tennis player. Out of an impulse, she sets a deadly trap for her husband.
Based on a stage play written by two men, the "feminist" plot is not terribly interesting. On strictly cinematic terms, the job of replacing words with images sometimes pays off in psychological intensity, while other times the absence of intertitles makes it simply incomprehensible.
