Confidentially Yours

Julien Vercel runs a real estate agency in Hyères, in the south of France. When a man named Massoulier is shot during a hunt, suspicion falls on Julien, and the case against him grows stronger once it emerges that the dead man was involved with Julien's wife, Marie-Christine. She is soon found dead as well, and Julien, implicated in both killings and receiving threatening anonymous calls, goes into hiding in his own office. Convinced of his innocence, his secretary Barbara Becker begins investigating on her own, following one lead after another toward the real culprit.

François Truffaut directed and co-wrote the film with Suzanne Schiffman and Jean Aurel, and produced it with Armand Barbault. It is the fourteenth film he directed, following The Last Metro in 1980.

The film mixes comedy with crime and mystery and runs 110 minutes.

On IMDb the film holds a rating of 6.8 out of 10 from nine critics' reviews, while on TMDB it sits at 7.1 out of 10 from 227 votes, indicating a modest but favorable reception from both critics and audiences.
