Poster of Paris Pick-Up

A casual meeting. A night of romance. A horror-filled dawn.

Paris Pick-Up (1962) follows an ex-convict who, during a chilly Christmas Eve in Paris, is lured into the orbit of a mysterious married woman whose husband soon turns up dead under puzzling circumstances. As he becomes entangled in her elaborate deception involving disappearing bodies and engineered alibis while evading police scrutiny, his uneasy alliance with her tightens into a tense game of suspicion and survival. This French crime drama blends noir-tinged intrigue and psychological suspense in a night-long descent into deception and consequence.
