Innocents with Dirty Hands is a 1962 French thriller film directed by Étienne Périer, based on the novel "Les Impures" by Pierre Petit. The story revolves around Julie Wormser, a wealthy socialite living in Saint-Tropez, who becomes disillusioned with her marriage to Louis, an impotent and heavy-drinking husband. Julie's solution to her marital problems is to conspire with her lover, Jeff Marle, a writer and neighbor, to murder her husband. The plan unfolds as Julie strikes Louis, rendering him unconscious, but leaving the rest of the task to Jeff. As the plot thickens, the duo must navigate their own moral ambiguities while trying to cover up the crime. As the investigation into Louis's disappearance gains momentum, Detective André Grouvel becomes increasingly suspicious of Jeff and Julie's alibis. Meanwhile, Jeff begins to question his involvement in the murder, and the moral implications it may have on their relationship. Throughout the film, Périer masterfully weaves together a complex web of relationships, motives, and deceit. The cinematography captures the sun-kissed beauty of Saint-Tropez, providing a stark contrast to the darkness and brutality that lurks beneath its idyllic surface. Innocents with Dirty Hands is a gripping and suspenseful thriller that explores themes of amorality, deception, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. With its intricate plot twists and strong performances from the cast, it has become a cult classic in French cinema.
