About Unusual Tales
A group of policemen look over three murder cases including a cutthroat that prays on young women, a madman that hid his deformed landlord's corpse in the floor, and a wine aficionado who buries his friend alive.
Directed by Jean Faurez, Unusual Tales leans on a strong ensemble — Fernand Ledoux, Suzy Carrier, Jules Berry — 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 horror titles of 1949.
