Basada en "El Decameron" de Boccaccio. Pasolini recrea con su personal estilo los cuentos eróticos y divertidos de esta obra universal. La película empieza con el cuento de Andreuccio de Perugia que se deja convencer por unos ladrones para quitarle un rubí al cadáver de un arzobispo. Otros cuentos están dedicados a temas licenciosos. Por ejemplo, el de Masetto de Lamporecchio, un hortelano que se finge sordomudo y mentecato para entrar al servicio de las monjas de un convento y experimentar con ellas las delicias del lecho compartido.

The title of this French noir drama translates to The Black File. Jean-Marc Bory plays Jacques Arnaud, an idealistic young investigator who comes to work in a small French town. He is soon involved in a mysterious case incriminating a town notable. Arnaud devotes himself to the case but the upshot of this is rather surprising to all concerned, not to mention the audience. Like Cayatte's previous efforts, Le Dossier Noir is based on the proposition that the phrase "French justice" can at times be oxymoronic.
