Beyond a reasonable doubt

The first half of the movie recalls a later work by André Berthomieu,"Le Mort En Fuite" (1936).

A writer's book is selling moderately well but a little publicity stunt would make it sell like hot cakes.So the writer asks one of his friends (Jean-Pierre Aumont) to be his " victim".He will play the role of the "murderer" ,giving all the clues to the Police.Of course the "dead" will reappear after a while.That's exactly what Michel Simon and Jules Berry did in "lE Mort En Fuite".

It takes some time before the plot takes off the ground,for the movie begins with a party complete with songs.The best moments come with the false "perfect crime" and all the clues the guys disseminate all over the place.Then the questioning where the "murderer" plays the game,giving away all the evidences and all the clues to be arrested.

But what follows is not what you are expecting,particularly if you've seen "Le Mort En Fuite" .I will not give you a clue ,see yourself.
