Joseph Lowsey's "Mrs. Klein," 1976. The action takes place in France in 1942. Successful even during the war painting dealer Robert Klein (in his role Alain Delon) suddenly finds himself in one very strange story. At the very beginning of the film, we see him buying a picture from a Jew for half the price, without worrying at all. And that’s where it all starts – a Jewish newspaper first comes to his name, in which the local community, which has not yet guessed how the whole affair with the Jews will end, publishes information. In perplexity, Klein goes first to the editorial office of the newspaper, then to the prefecture to clarify for himself how he ended up on the lists, but no one especially listens, just the opposite, he only attracts the attention of the police. And the story gets continued - he receives an invitation to some estate for a musical evening, he goes there, finding out at the same time that his "double" plays the flute and is in connection with the mistress of the house. He continues his unsafe investigation, but is unable to meet the second Klein. He goes to his father and asks for the metrics of all his relatives proving that he is not a Jew, but the so-called law that has to prove it, hits him like a steam rink - they take away all his valuables. In the end, his lawyer gives him a new passport and he has only to leave, but curiosity eats him, he returns. Everything ends very badly for him - he is arrested and, despite the fact that the metrics have come, he can no longer be snatched from the clutches of those who arrested him and chased him into the crowd, he is shoved into the car, and we see the one who organized it all, perhaps later he will see him himself, because they are traveling in the same car. . .
