Quai des Orfèvres is a 1947 film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot. It stars Suzy Delair, Bernard Blier, Louis Jouvet and Simone Renant. The title translates literally to "quay of the goldsmiths", but actually refers to a famous police station in Paris at 36 Quai des Orfèvres.
Suzy Delair as Jenny Lamour
Jenny Lamour (Delair) wants to succeed in the theatre. Her husband and accompanist is Maurice Martineau (Blier), a mild-mannered but jealous man. When he finds out that Jenny has been making eyes at Brignon, a lecherous old businessman, in order to further her career, he loses his temper and threatens Brignon with death. Despite this, Jenny goes to a secret rendezvous at Brignon's apartment, who is murdered the same evening. The criminal investigations are led by Inspector Antoine (Jouvet).
