Sinekatalog’s take
André Cayatte's drama has a judge reopen an old murder case, only to find the evidence points at another suspect. Pierre Larquey, Jean Desailly and Bernard Blier lead a sober, thoughtful courtroom thriller that questions justice.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
