Storyline

Edit

Plot Summary	In winter of 1938, Paris is crowded with refugees from the Nazis, who live in the black shadows of night, trying to evade deportation. One such is Dr. Ravic, who practices medicine illegally and stalks his old Nazi enemy Haake with murder in mind. One rainy night, Ravic meets Joan Madou, a kept woman cast adrift by her lover's sudden death. Against Ravic's better judgement, they become involved in a doomed affair; matters come to a crisis on the day war is declared. Written by Rod Crawford Plot Summary

Goofs	When Ravic takes his gun and goes to look for Haake in the streets, the first shot of him has been reversed for some reason as evidenced by the signs he passes, which are backwards. See more »
