Like Jacques Becker's "Falbala" ,"Scandale aux Champs Elysees" takes place in the chic world of fashion.But there the comparison ends.Roder Blanc's flick is a rather mediocre thriller,not really scary and not even suspenseful.
Models are strangled among a top designer's staff.A cop is investigating.The usual suspects : the boss (Pierre Renoir whose part is actually very small),a sexually repressed clerk...
The only real interest lies in the song ,the "Mademoiselle de Paris" waltz which was a big hit a long time ago in France but which is almost forgotten today.Jacqueline François sings it and she also dubs the actress who plays the "masked singer" 's part for another song.
