Série noire is a 1979 French crime film directed by Alain Corneau. It was entered into the 1979 Cannes Film Festival. It is based on the novel Hell of a Woman by Jim Thompson.
Franck Poupart is a door-to-door salesman. His wife leaves him when she finds out he got involved with an underage prostitute named Mona. Then he gets sacked and imprisoned for embezzlement. Mona bails him out and persuades him to rob her rich aunt. But his streak of bad luck (série noire in French) continues because his still upset wife returns unannounced and she comes across the booty.
