The Moment of Truth (1952)

On the night of their tenth anniversary, Doctor Pierre Richard accidentally discovers that his wife, actress Madeleine, has been having an affair with a disturbed artist, Daniel Prevost who has just attempted suicide. He confronts her and she spends the night trying to explain the reasons for her infidelity...he took their marriage for granted, he spent too much time at work, he appeared to be attracted to his pretty assistant and on and on...in two languages and some badly dubbed English. Will he buy this? Will they stay together?
