French noir. A wealthy industrialist who killed his mistress is in turn killed by the woman's husband. He stages things to make it look like a suicide, but is unexpectedly seen by a cab driver leaving the scene of the crime. The murderer then must quickly improvise an alibi so he can track down and kill the cabie. However this tax driver proves to be a very social person who is always around people, most notably his girlfriend, a dispatcher at the cab company who is the first to figure out her boyfriend may be an indirect witness to a murder. This was a really solid movie, I'm a little surprised it didn't get an American remake. Great tension. ***
