French Film Noir: Marina Vlady, Trés Jolie Double Feature

You’re invited to a double feature of French noir films. The Show Off: youthful Marina Vlady was a lovely, mysterious creature, as we’ve already seen in The Wicked Go To Hell and here she’s a spectral presence in the life of a conniving petty thief with perverse aspirations to move up into the big time. Double Agents: the tale concerns two spies who meet and are violently attracted to each other—almost against their will—as part of a complex, virtually incomprehensible espionage exchange.
