About The Night of Saint-Germain-des-Prés
In 1951, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the private detective Nestor Burma was commissioned by an insurance company to find stolen jewelery. The deal seemed easy and Burma got an appointment with a well-known black trumpet player in the neighborhood who could provide him with information. But the musician does not come and we find him murdered. The investigation becomes more complicated and Nestor must find an alibi so as not to be suspected of the crime.
Directed by Bob Swaim, The Night of Saint-Germain-des-Prés leans on a strong ensemble — Michel Galabru, Mort Shuman, Daniel Auteuil — 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 mystery titles of 1977.
