About Police Judiciaire
The detectives of the Paris Judicial Police, based at the Quai des Orfèvres, are mobilized by four criminal cases. A double murder, perpetrated in a hotel on the Place de Clichy, intrigues the investigators. The owner and a little maid were murdered in cold blood.
Directed by Maurice de Canonge, Police Judiciaire leans on a strong ensemble — Anne Vernon, Henri Vilbert, Robert Manuel — 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 1957.
