About L'homme au parapluie
A heart stops beating and two others no longer dare to face each other. While an old lady is found poisoned, the two main suspects in the investigation see their mutual love decline behind vile suspicions. 35 years before Les Cordier, judge and cop, Pierre Mondy is already trying his hand at the role of inspector.
Directed by Claude Loursais, L'homme au parapluie leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Mondy, Gérard Oury, Gabrielle Fontan — 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 1956.
