Suivez cet homme

"Suivez cet homme" is a true success in french criminal cinema from golden age. The always excellent Bernard Blier is a police inspector, playing it with its usual truculence, investigating two different cases, the first one indoor and the second one outdoor. The casting is marvellous, from Paul Frankeur, Yves Robert, Daniel Cauchy, ... for men to Suzy Prim and the most excellent Andrée Clément,... for women. Director Georges Lampin direct them with prompt exactitude and cinematography is fine. Both cases are full of tension, with a shocking climax (for the time) in the second. "Suivez cet homme" is one of my favorite french police movie of the beginning of the 50's, and not only thanks to Bernard Blier.
