Synopsis
En apparence au nom du fanatisme catholique, un journaliste (Jean Louis Barrault) assassine une femme aux mœurs légères et tente de faire accuser l'amant de celle-ci ; en vérité, il s'agit d'un crime passionnel motivé par un sentiment de dépit. Pierre Fresnay joue le rôle de l'inspecteur de police qui patiemment mène l'enquête. Le meurtrier se fait subtiliser un document compromettant par un fonctionnaire de police après avoir erré dans les rues chaudes de la ville, il avoue son crime avant de sombrer dans un état de démence.Actors
