About The Crime of Monsieur Lange
Mild-mannered novelist of Western fiction, Amédée Lange, and his colleagues take over a publishing house after their exploitative boss disappears, only for the superior to return and try to reclaim the profits from their successful cooperative.
Directed by Jean Renoir, The Crime of Monsieur Lange leans on a strong ensemble — René Lefèvre, Florelle, 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 drama titles of 1936.
