Vivement Dimanche! (1983) BRRip Oldies

When Massoulier, the owner of the Eden Theater in Mureaux in Southern France, is found shot to death while out hunting in the woods, local real estate agent Julien Vercel is the primary suspect for various reasons, including he known to be hunting there at the same time, but more importantly that it has been suspected that Massoulier and Vercel's ex-beautician wife Marie-Christine Vercel were having an affair. Julien had not told anyone, but was contemplating divorce on his belief of her infidelity. The police do question him, but don't have enough evidence to hold him. So when Julien subsequently discovers Marie-Christine's murdered body in their house, she who had just returned from a trip to Nice where she was originally from, Julien, unable to enlist his lawyer Clement who got him off with regard to Massoulier, instead turns to Barbara Becker, his most recent secretary who he just fired for conduct unbecoming, for help, she surprising him by going above and beyond to provide that help which includes doing the legwork in investigating the murders, Julien believing the key to both being to discover what Marie-Christine was doing in Nice, and to discover the identity of the anonymous female caller harassing them about the murders. As Barbara hides her boss at the office and goes off to do the necessary legwork, the two get into one disagreement after another, which hides the reason why Barbara is as tenacious as she is in providing this help. But what if Barbara's help is misguided and Julien really is the murderer?
