Mervyn LeRoy (1900–1987)

Marise Aubert is in the Paris office of Dr Leclair, discussing her medical condition. The Doctor explains that there is nothing physically wrong with her and that her pain is from her internal struggles.

The movie flashes back to events of the past two weeks. Soldier Jean Renaud arrives suddenly at Aubert's cottage, where he meets Marise. He explains that he was in a Nazi reprisal camp with her husband Paul, who told him everything about her. He tells her that he saw Paul get shot and that he is dead. She tells him to leave but relents as the evening is stormy and allows him to stay.

Marise is shocked to discover that Jean knows practically everything about her. Paul had confided in his friend many times in the camp. Jean has fallen in love with her from these stories, but when he makes romantic advances, Marise orders him to leave but changes her mind because she is so lonely and Jean is from Paul's life. They spend some happy times, fishing, and being together.

A letter from Paul arrives but Jean intercepts it before Marise can see it. Paul is not dead. The letter explains that he is about to be released from a hospital so he can return to her. Jean nearly leaves after he realizes that Paul is alive but stays. Marise agrees to sell Paul's business and leave with Jean, but Paul returns before they leave. Marise learns of Paul's return and rushes home. Jean learns of Paul's return and retrieves an old gun he found in the office of Paul's business and heads to the cottage to confront Paul.

Marise is ecstatic to have him back, but confesses her relationship with Jean. Paul confronts his friend over the betrayal and Jean pulls a gun on him. They struggle, and Jean is killed in a fall from a cliff.

Marise hears the words of the doctor, telling her to return home. Marise leaves the office of the doctor and returns to the cottage where Paul awaits her and they reunite happily. (fonte: wikipedia)… (altro)
