The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. ==Plot== Dominique Marceau is a young Frenchwoman on trial for killing her lover, Gilbert. The prosecuting attorney, Eparvier, claims it was an act of premeditated murder that warrants the death penalty. The defense attorney, Guérin, maintains that it was an act of passion and not punishable by death. During the course of the trial, we see the events that led up to the crime. Dominque's parents let her move to Paris after she tried to kill herself when they initially refused. She had been living on the Paris Left Bank with her violinist sister Anne, partying and sleeping with men. She meets Gilbert, her sister's boyfriend, a music student. Dominique seduces Gilbert and he falls for her and proposed but she turns him down. They live together for a time but Dominique struggles with domesticity and Gilbert is constantly worried she will cheat on him. Eventually they break up. Over time Dominique becomes a prostitute while Gilbert becomes a famous conductor. Gilbert and Anne become engaged. Dominique realises that Gilbert was the only man she ever loved and they sleep together. However he kicks her out the next day. She tries to kill herself to prove her love but when he mocks her she shoots him. She then attempts suicide but is found and rescued by the police. At the end of the trial, Dominque realises the jury is unconvinced that her love for Gilbert was real. She returns to her prison cell and slashes her wrists with a piece of broken mirror. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Truth (1960 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
