Gabin In A Shocking World

The owner of a Parisian night club is murdered, and Inspecteur Jean Gabin is assigned to the case. His investigation starts with the dead man's mistress, Nadja Tiller, with whom he begins an affair.

Although the movie seems set up for shock value, Gabin moves through it with his usual natural facility. The jazz credentials are impeccable, with a ten-minute opening sequence and Hazel Scott playing the piano, but it soon settles down into a mess where Fraulein Tiller seems to be moving into self-destruction. The cast includes Danielle Darrieux, Robert Manuel, and in tiny bits, Jean-Pierre Cassell and Jacques Marin.
