Three of France’s most beloved fictional detectives are on the case in Full House (Brelan d’as), a portmanteau policier from director Henri Verneuil (The Sicilian Clan).

First, Monsieur Wens (Raymond Rouleau, Falbalas), created by Stanislas-André Steeman (Quai des Orfèvres), is puzzled by a case in which the chief suspect seems to have the perfect alibi – he was with Wens at the time of the murder. Secondly, Peter Cheyney’s Lemmy Caution (John van Dreelan, 13 Ghosts) becomes entangled with a femme fatale as he tackles a jewel robbery. The final segment focuses on Georges Simenon’s Inspector Maigret, as Michel Simon (L’Atalante) solves a murder from his sickbed with the aid of an altar boy.

Verneuil’s masterful triple-helping of post-war Gallic noir boasts a screenplay co-written by Jacques Companéez (Casque d’or) and André Tabet (Witness in the City).
