About L'Ennemi dans l'ombre
The director of the French Ministry of the Interior summons Serge Cazals, an Interpol agent, to unmask the leaders of an organization that sells military intelligence and has just made a name for itself with the assassination of Secret Service ace Georges Dandieu. Cazals is soon spotted by his adversaries and dangerously threatened. Through an intermediary in the organization, he obtains a telephone number that leads him to various leads, but to no avail. He then decides to set a trap, with the help of his friend Violaine.
Directed by Charles Gérard, L'Ennemi dans l'ombre leans on a strong ensemble — Roger Hanin, Estella Blain, Bernard Blier — 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 mystery titles of 1960.
