Your Reviews
A charming classic French murder mystery. Top flight cinema in its time (1947) and still holds its own today.
Critic Reviews
A film noir? A backstage musical? A whodunit? A comedy? In truth, it's all of the above -- plus a kinky love story, an absorbing melodrama, and a mordantly jaded snapshot of postwar Paris -- and all of them are wonderful.Full Review

The visual style has an expressionistic undertow, rich in shadowy chiaroscuro compositions.Full Review
