The Night Affair - 1958 - 7/10
AKA - Le désordre et la nuit

The owner of a boisterous nightclub is troubled by partners, suppliers and women.
Most of his money stems from peddling drugs and flesh.
So, when a murder occurs, there is no shortage of suspects with motives.

Clues point to a young hostess, Lucky, pass-around companion and drug addict.
Moody film, set primarily during nights. Hot jazz clubs, private parties, drunken fights.
Jean Gabin excellent as weary inspector who resists the easy path.
Solid French Noir.
