When two impersonating police officers enter a Parisian court of justice, they have one thing in mind, get rid of the lawyer D'Alins, a man that probably knows too much about illegal activities that would tie him to unscrupulous Avram Kazavian. Inspector Martin Griffon steps in to begin the investigation, he is accompanied by Rambert, a deceiving man with an important job in the police department, who is now married to his former wife. Rambert will be a key figure in this case. Also on hand in the court of justice is the journalist Sybille Berger. She is the first one on the scene and she will be another important part in solving the case, as well as getting involved with Griffon.
This 1983 French film, which we never saw when it was released, was recently shown on channel. Phillipe Labro, its director, had his moment in the industry, but he has not done much lately, in spite of the promise he brought to the cinema. He collaborated on the screenplay and showed he was a natural for the crime genre.
Claude Brasseur, who also played an inspector in Georges Franju's "Les yeux san visage", was a natural choice for the role of Griffon. He was born to play the policeman in this film. American born Gabrielle Lazure, has done well in the French cinema, as she shows here with her take on the journalist that helps Griffon solve the crime. Jean-Claude Brially, has a pivotal part in the film.
"La crime" will surprise fans of the genre.
