Summary
Françoise and Henri appear to be a perfectly happy married couple living in Paris.
When she discovers that her husband, a test car driver, has been having an affair with
another woman, Françoise immediately packs her bags and moves into a house in the
Rue de L'Estrapade, in the Latin Quarter. Here, she falls under the spell of a young
musician...
Review
Whilst not in the same league as some of Jacques Becker’s better films (most notably
Casque d’or, which was made
immediately before this one), Rue de l'estrapade is a pleasing example of mid-1950s
French melodrama. Becker had the good sense not to dress the film up as anything
other than a straightforward romantic drama, and most of its charm is in the performances
of the three leading chic young actors, Anne Vernon, Louis Joudan and Daniel Gélin.
