Le Combat Dans L'ile (1962) BRRip Oldies

The son of a French industrialist, Clement is a right wing extremist who belongs to a secret militant right wing organization that uses whatever means necessary, including violence, to achieve its goals. His wife Anne, a former German actress who gave up her career to be the doting wife, knows somewhat of his extremist views, and suspects he would indeed kill if need be as witnessed by what she finds hidden in their house. He often treats her poorly, especially out in public as she maintains the facade of her former celebrity, which he believes is her acting like a whore. Regardless, she is compelled to stay in the marriage. After he and a right wing colleague assassinate a Communist figure, that assassination which goes slightly awry, Clement and Anne hide out in the country home of Clement's childhood friend, Paul, who knows nothing about Clement's extremist views. Paul is a democrat and pacifist. Clement is forced to leave to pursue a mission, leaving Anne behind. Without Clement, Anne returns to her old life in the theater and into a relationship with Paul. But Clement does return much to Paul and Anne's chagrin, he who will not give up his wife without incident.
