In the story · Finale
The film's climax plays out in France's national theatre: Reggie flees the Palais-Royal colonnades into the darkened auditorium, hides in the prompter's box, and the chase ends on the stage. On Place Colette outside, the Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre métro exit where she surfaced moments earlier is now crowned by the coloured-glass Kiosque des Noctambules.
