an unscrupulous journalist, it soon becomes clear that none of them could possibly have
done it...
Film Review
The inimitable Jules Berry gives one of his most deliciously unrestrained performances
in this off-the-wall comedy thriller. Intelligent, witty and loaded with suspense,
this is a hugely entertaining blend of whodunnit à l’anglaise and policier à
la française.
