L'amour Egare

Blacklisted for his daring “anti-French” masterpiece Le corbeau, Henri-Georges Clouzot returned to cinema four years later with the 1947 crime-fiction adaptation Quai des Orfèvres. Set within the vibrant dance halls and crime corridors of 1940s Paris, Quai des Orfèvres follows ambitious performer Jenny Lamour (Suzy Delair), her covetous husband Maurice Martineau (Bernard Blier), and their devoted confidante Dora Monier (Simone Renant) as they attempt to cover one another’s tracks when a sexually orgreish high-society acquaintance is murdered. Enter Inspector Antoine (Louis Jouvet), whose seasoned instincts lead him down a circuitous path in this classic whodunit murder mystery.

Jenny Lamour, chanteuse de music-hall douée, ne manque pas d'ambition. Elle accepte l'invitation à dîner de Brignon, homme riche et puissant qui peut l'aider dans sa carrière malgré l'opposition de Maurice, son époux. Jaloux et se croyant trompé, Maurice se précipite chez Brignon pour découvrir son rival assassiné

The Technicolor musical Masquerade in Mexico is Mitchell Leisen's remake of his own Midnight. Stranded in Mexico City without a dime, glamorous Angel O'Reilly (Dorothy Lamour) is rescued by wealthy Thomas Grant (Patric Knowles). But Grant's motivations are anything but altrustic. In order to get his wife Helen's (Ann Dvorak) mind off handsome bullfighter Manolo Segovia (Arturo de Cordova), Grant passes Angel off as a Contessa at a weekend party, reasoning that Segovia will switch his attentions to our heroine. Screenwriter Karl Tunberg has added a jewel-theft angle to the original Edwin Justis Mayer/Franz Spencer story, which improves things not at all. Masquerade in Mexico is admittedly a handsomer production than Midnight, but the remake lacks the sparkle of the original film's stars Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, John Barrymore, Francis Lederer, Mary Astor et. al.

A Vienne, en novembre 1823. Au coeur de la nuit, un vieil homme égaré clame cette étonnante confession : "Pardonne, Mozart, pardonne à ton assassin !" Ce fantôme, c'est Antonio Salieri, jadis musicien réputé et compositeur officiel de la Cour. Dès l'enfance, il s'était voué tout entier au service de Dieu, s'engageant à le célébrer par sa musique, au prix d'un incessant labeur. Pour prix de ses sacrifices innombrables, il réclamait la gloire éternelle. Son talent, reconnu par l'empereur mélomane Joseph II, valut durant quelques années à Salieri les plus hautes distinctions. Mais, en 1781, un jeune homme arrive à Vienne, précédé d'une flatteuse réputation. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart est devenu le plus grand compositeur du siècle. Réalisant la menace que représente pour lui ce surdoué arrogant dont il admire le profond génie, Salieri tente de l'évincer.
