Étienne, a modest carpenter, believes he has found the perfect partner in Irène, a beautiful young woman who appears to be devoted to him. But Irène is not the simple housemaid she pretends to be.

Irène is content with her double life until the day she discovers she is pregnant with Étienne’s child. After the baby is born, Irène promises to marry Étienne, without telling him that she must first persuade her present husband to agree to a divorce. Étienne’s hopes for future happiness are dashed when the business he attempts to set up fails and his child falls dangerously ill. The final blow comes when he visits Irène at the house where she claims to work and discovers the truth that she has long concealed from him…

User Review by dbdumonteil
Pierre Chenal’s last hurrah-although not his last movie, it’s easily the best of the four thrillers he made when he was back from Argentina. “Jeux Dangereux” the precedent year suggested a return to form for a director who made interesting film noirs in the thirties and a masterpiece in the forties (“La Foire Aux Chimères”). All promises were fulfilled in “La Bete A L’Affut” .

There are two apparently distinct plots:
– A cop’s widow (Françoise Arnoul) is through with love and she spends her time collecting money for the orphans of the Police, abetted by a bunch of snobs and false friends. Unfortunately the person who was in charge of the money is assaulted and the money is gone. Might this respectable notable of the town be the stealer, after feigning an aggression?

– A warden has two inmates do some repairs in his house. But he’s got a too pretty wife. Two of the men are killed in mysterious circumstances and the survivor, one of the prisoners (Henri Vidal) takes refuge in the widow’s desirable mansion. Love begins to grow between them but is the man a victim of fate as he claims to be?

The screenplay is particularly smart as the two stories meet in the last minutes. There’s also a grandiose finale in a lighthouse, with scenes to rival the best of Jacques Tourneur. Henri Vidal was perhaps never better than here and his pairing with sexy Françoise Arnoul was really a good one.The last scene was particularly harrowing when you know that Vidal was to pass away in December 1959, leaving Belmondo and Delon a clear field.

The post Pierre Chenal – La bête à l’affût AKA Beast at Bay (1959) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
‘Jean-Louis catches vipers he sells to the laboratories. A trivial incident causes his descent into hell: he forgets to use the pedestrian crossing and the policeman is cross. Who could have believed then where it would lead the unfortunate Jean-Louis to? Two unscrupulous journalists depict him as a monster, who releases vipers in town. Because of a hold up, the city is looking for a scapegoat, and this poor lad looks the part too much. Although the superintendent insists there’s really nothing against him, Jean-Louis becomes paranoiac and hides in shady places. He leaves his girlfriend, meets a hooker and a shifty aging man…’
