Quai des Orfèvres is a 1947 film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, based on the book Légitime défense by Stanislas-Andre Steeman. 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. 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).
