The Third Lover
Three's a crowd...until she whispered..."three's allowed."
Directed by Claude Chabrol
Produced by Rome-Paris Films, C. C. Champion
A morally murky psychological thriller about desire, envy, and the corrosive power of seduction, where a failed man attempts to steal another's life and wife.
On a work assignment in Germany, failed journalist Albin crosses paths with Andreas, a successful writer, and his wife Hélène, who quickly becomes the apple of Albin’s eye. While Andreas is off on a business trip, Albin tries to seduce Hélèn and, eventually, take over Andreas’ life.
