About Mort ou vif
A friendly average Frenchman pretends to be a famous commissioner on vacation. He arrives in a castle converted into a boarding house where, after dinner, guests are invited to participate in a "murder-party". The so-called victim of this little game is really murdered and the fake commissioner must lead the investigation.
Directed by Jean Tedesco, Mort ou vif leans on a strong ensemble — Max Régnier, Nicole Riche, Sinoël — 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 screen titles of 1948.
