Laure Ash helps pull off a diamond robbery in Cannes

a distraught woman who commits suicide and then leaves
the country. Seven years later, Laure (now called
Lily Watts) re-surfaces as the wife of the new American
ambassador to France where a certain Nicolas Barto,
a Spanish photographer, takes her picture which sets
the stage for a motion of events as the evil Laure
resorts to low, underhanded means to protect her former
identity by emotionally and financially destroying
Nicolas while evading her former partners-in-crime
still looking for her to reclaim the stolen diamonds.
Comments:
This
film is so beautifully crafted that I am tempted to
ignore its one flaw. But I can't. Brian De Palma weaves
a beautiful web with so many classic moments that
it is, immediately, apparent that the master has not
lost a single bit of his genius. The film is stunning
to look at, and engrossing from beginning to end.
A much-touted stripping scene, late in the film, is
its one BIG flaw. It adds nothing to the narrative
and brings the film to such an abrupt halt, it's like
hitting a brick wall. Immediately following, the film
returns to its engrossing glory. Even with this unfortunate
flaw, the film is De Palma's greatest achievement.
Highly recommended!
