An awkward motiveless murder on noirish style of Costa-Gravas's debut!!
Recently restored this Costa-Gravas's debut already envisages an avant-garde director, the stellar casting enhances the offering as mystery thriller on noirish style, on a wet and cold early morning at Paris when a sleeping car train coming from Marseille lays out a throttled body of a gorgeous woman Georgette Thomas (Pascale Roberts), the police lead by Inspector Grazzi (Yves Montand) has a hard task to pinpoint the assassin among the six travelers that occupied that cabin.
There were a mid-age actress Eliane Darrès (Simone Signoret), a recently employed secretary Benjamine Bombat "aka" Bambi (Catherine Allegrétt), a bleak past character René Cabourgh (Michel Piccoli) who harassed the victim on the night, a quiet male public servant passenger back at your home at Paris, a mystery absence woman, and finally a young stowaway convict Daniel (Jacques Perrin) hided by Bambi in the absent bed at late night.
This list went to the press call up by police to make statements aiming for fulfill the empty spaces of this awkward murder, strangely the passengers of sleeping car have been killed one by one, therefore Inspector Grazzi suggests a seven hidden passenger who is erasing witness, meanwhile appears others suspects as Eric Grandin (Jean-Louis Trintignant) as Mrs. Darrès's lover and the complainer Bob Vaskis (Charles Denner) whereof has a current affair with late Georgette.
Finest French Hichtcockian-Agatha Christie's thriller on well-crated story that will surprise everyone on so unusual outcome, also has a black humor as the clumsy Daniel accidently has been scratched three woman stocks, without forget a night-time car chase on Paris.
Thanks for reading.
