Peter's neighbor at the restaurant car
Em 1942, um avião da Royal Air Force é abatido sobre uma Paris ocupada pelo exército nazi. Os três pilotos saltam em para-quedas: Peter Cunningham cai nos andaimes de Augustin Bouvet, um pintor da construção civil que está a trabalhar na fachada do comando alemão, Alan Macintosh aterra no telhado da Ópera, durante o ensaio da orquestra, dirigida por Stanislas LeFort, e Sir Reginald mergulha no tanque das focas, no Jardim Zoológico de Vincennes. Enquanto a polícia alemã se lança à sua procura, Stanislas e Augustin ocupam-se dos ingleses, lançando-se nas mais extraordinárias aventuras, para os conduzirem para a zona livre.

In this Frenco-Italian gangster parody, a shop keeper on his way to an Italian holiday suffers a crash which totals his car. The culprit can only compensate his ruined trip by driving an American friends car from Napels to Bordeaux, but as it happens to be filled with such contraband as stolen money, jewelry and drugs, the involuntary and unwitting companions in crime soon attract all but recreational attention from the "milieu".

Dominique Marceau está sendo julgada pelo assassinato de Gilbert Tellier. Os advogados duelam implacavelmente, elaborando explicações de por que a linda, ociosa e inconstante garota matou o talentoso e ambicioso maestro recém-formado pela conservatório. Foi paixão, vingança, desespero, um acidente? Os conhecidos de Gilbert testemunham, assim como os ex-amantes de Dominique, sua irmã Annie, e o violinista estudioso contratado por Gilbert. As evidências progressivamente pintam um quadro mais atenuada das personalidades de Dominique e Gilbert, e de seu relacionamento, muito diferente das eloquentes e convincentes explicações dos advogados.
Meant to be a psychological study of a dysfunctional couple and an equally unbalanced maid, this slow-paced, murky melodrama stars Michele Morgan and Robert Hossein as Thelma and Jess, two Americans who move into a down-at-the-heels Paris neighborhood. The couple is still suffering from the loss of their only son in an automobile accident that happened some time in the distant past. Thelma tends to drown her sorrows in alcohol, while Jess is introspected and morose. After they hire a maid to help out with the housework, she falls for the taciturn Jess. Her interest seems to be only a simple attraction, yet appearances, as it turns out, are deceiving.

Director Jean Delannoy's immediate followup to his brilliant Les Jeux sont Faits was the more conventional Aux Yeux du Souvenir (aka Souvenir and To the Eyes of Memory). The film is based on a true story, wherein an France airliner managed to survive a journey from Rio De Janeiro to Dakar with two of its engines incapacitated. To this already intensely dramatic situation has been added a romantic subplot involving Claire Magny (Michele Morgan) and Jacques Forester (Jean Marais). The love story adds very little to the film; fortunately, neither does it detract from the film's overall quality. As was the case with many French productions of the 1940s, Aux Yeux du Souvenir benefits immeasurably from the Wagnerian musical score by Georges Auric.
