About 27, rue de la Paix
A young woman wishing to divorce, promises money to her husband's ex-mistress to obtain her testimony on her behalf. But the same evening, the corpse of the young woman is found in the Seine. Everything seems to confirm the husband's guilt, however a journalist disappears with the evidence.
Directed by Richard Pottier, 27, rue de la Paix leans on a strong ensemble — Renée Saint-Cyr, Jean Galland, Gabriel Signoret — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1936.
