Manèges is a French film directed by Yves Allégret and released in 1950. The film stars Simone Signoret, Bernard Blier and Jane Marken. It is shot in black-and-white in film noir style, with extensive use of flashback and the voiceover of characters' unspoken thoughts. Manèges is noted for the exceptionally harsh and cynical manner in which Allégret delineates the characters of his two female leads, and has been accused of being misogynistic in tone. It was shot at the Neuilly Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Auguste Capelier and Alexandre Trauner.
