About Speaking of Murder
Louis Bertain is the owner of a Paris garage which is the front for a robbery gang. He and his accomplices are careful to keep up a civic veneer by day, indulging in criminal activities only when "the red light is on" at night. This status quo is upset when one of the gang members becomes convinced that Louis' younger brother is a police informer.
Directed by Gilles Grangier, Speaking of Murder leans on a strong ensemble — Jean Gabin, Paul Frankeur, Marcel Bozzuffi — 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.
