The Whole Truth

Movie producer Max Poulton is having an on-again, off-again affair with Gina Bertini, the temperamental leading lady in his latest movie which is filming on the French Riviera. Gina and Max's current off-again status is due to Max vowing to make a go of his marriage to his loving wife, Carol, with whom he has had a sometimes-strained relationship. Gina and Max's relationship moves into another realm when she threatens to tell Carol of the affair. That's why Max is hesitant to divulge the full nature of his relationship to Gina after she is found murdered. He is certain that the murderer is a man named Carliss, who introduced himself to Max earlier as being with Scotland Yard, and assisting the local French authorities in the investigation into Gina's murder, this before Gina was really murdered. Carliss seemingly is trying to frame Max for the murder. Max understands more after he learns who Carliss is. Despite the authorities being after him, Max does whatever he can both to clear his name and protect Carol, whom he believes is in danger herself.
