relatively speaking,the French "who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?", 16 July 2002
Author: dbdumonteil

Bourgeois doctor discovers his wife has (or might have) a lover.A domestic quarrel begins during which they go back in the past.The screenplay is pretty trite but the three leads (Gavin,Morgan and Gélin) are convincing,Henri Jeanson's dialogue rather witty(evoking sometimes Jacques Prévert,mainly Gélin's lines)and the directing is OK.

That said,"la minute de vérité" is not among Delannoy's most interesting movies (you'd better choose "Dieu a besoin des hommes " "Maigret et l'affaire Saint-Fiacre " or "la symphonie pastorale" for that matter;"l'éternel retour" being mainly Jean Cocteau's work).

Watchable,but not particularly memorable.
