About The Black Monocle
The Marquis de Villemaur reunite strange visitors in his Castle, to meet a survivor of the Third Reich. There is an Italian fascist, Heinrich; a German, Matthias; a Russian; and Dromard, a blind French war hero with a black monocle.
Directed by Georges Lautner, The Black Monocle leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Meurisse, Bernard Blier, Elga Andersen — 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 1961.
