Jacqueline Louvier

In Cartes sur table, the French Télévisions film adaptation of Agatha Christie's Cards on the Table, for the Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie TV series, Jacqueline Louvier is the parallel of Mrs Luxmore in the original story. She is the widow of the botanist, the Robert Louvier who died on an expedition to the Limpopo river in Africa.

Jacqueline Louvier was portrayed as much more of a sex-crazed person that Mrs Luxmore. After the death of her husband, Jacqueline set up a marriage agency. Commissaire Laurence went to see her, posing as a client, in order to make enquiries about the circumstances of her husband's death. He found that Jacqueline tried to cast herself on him. Paul Coupet, the expedition guide said much the same thing--Jacqueline was all over him, even though he was not interested. In fact, Jacqueline told Laurence that she believe Coupet shot her husband for her. Laurence believed Coupet's account of the accidental death of Robert instead. In letting Coupet go, he commented that he might just as well have pushed the lady into the river. Jacqueline Louvier is portrayed by Sophie Bourdon.
