After acquiring evidence of his wife's infidelity, Charles confronts Hélène's lover, Victor Pégala (Maurice Ronet), with tragic results. "La Femme Infidele" is arguably Claude Chabrol's finest film and ranks as one of the masterpieces of sixties French cinema. The adulterous wife is, yes you've guessed it, Stephane Audran and Michel Bouquet is the cuckolded husband who decides to confront his wife's lover, Maurice Ronet, with fatal results. Perhaps the gentle art of murder has never been as gentle or as artful as here. The performances are uniformly brilliant, the script a constant delight and Chabrol's direction is pitch-perfect.
