Synopsis:
Married at a very early age to her cousin, Therese Raquin (Simone Signoret) leads an uneventful and joyless existence void of romance with her selfish husband and authoritarian aunt. The arrival of the handsome Italian Laurent (Raf Vallone) to whom Camille (Jacques Duby) has taken a liking, turns her life upside down. Straight away, sparks of love and passion fly between Thérèse and Laurent, however Camille refuses to agree to a divorce and plans to take Thérèse to Paris, away from temptation. En route, Camille is pushed off the train after a violent dispute with Laurent. The inquiry draws the conclusion of accidental death.
However, a young sailor who witnessed the entire scene starts blackmailing Laurent...
