The wife of the headmaster of a school for boys tires of his violent treatment of her, along with his philandering, and teams up with his mistress (Simone Signoret) to drown him and make it appear as a suicide. When the body goes missing and sightings of the supposedly dead man are reported all over town, the two mismatched women must uncover what happened to the body before it's discovered what they've done.

Although I am in the minority with this, but I doubt that Hitchcock would have filmed this any better, if he’d managed to buy the rights to the story. His version would not necessarily have been any worse, but he certainly would have typically stylized it in his own way. But this was so wonderfully down to earth and convincing, that it would have been a shame to spoil it with unnecessarily stylization. And even if he were to film this better, he would have had a hard job finding a better cast. P.S.: And I join in with the piety reigning here and won’t even mention the remake.
