Film Synopsis
Marc Elbichon, a young and enterprising private detective, is
investigating a series of murders involving women who each has a
telephone dial stuck to her forehead after being killed. In his
bid to track down the clearly deranged murderer, Elbichon enlists the
help of his childhood friends: Franck Potin, the owner of a bar that
struggles to attract customers, and Blacky, a radio presenter on a
boat. Despite his lack of experience, Marc is sure he can crack
the case, even if he is up against an interfering police
superintendent...

The very best of French film comedy
Thanks to comedy giants such as Louis de Funès, Fernandel, Bourvil and Pierre Richard, French cinema abounds with comedy classics of the first rank.
From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
