From the 1934 play by Georges Berr and Louis Verneuil, an amusing reflection on the arbitrary nature of Truth and its spectacularisation with echoes between Lubitsch and Wilder.

The lightness of which we know the French director to be capable, and his taste for the absurd, manage to imbue the story with a false culprit that he himself had long dreamed of and make it transcend reality, ours and the facts.

In 1930s Paris, Madeleine, a pretty, young, penniless and talentless actress, is accused of murdering a famous producer. Helped by her best friend Pauline, a young unemployed lawyer, she is acquitted on the grounds of self-defense. A new life of fame and success begins, until the truth comes out.
