Speaking of Murder
The master plan - the split-second timing - the unexpected flaw...the crime that shocked Paris!
Directed by Gilles Grangier
Produced by Société Nouvelle des Établissements Gaumont (SNEG), Cité Films
A taut 1950s crime thriller about a carefully orchestrated robbery operation undone by paranoia and suspicion within the gang itself.
Louis Bertain is the owner of a Paris garage which is the front for a robbery gang. He and his accomplices are careful to keep up a civic veneer by day, indulging in criminal activities only when "the red light is on" at night. This status quo is upset when one of the gang members becomes convinced that Louis' younger brother is a police informer.
