Between Eleven and Midnight (1949)

Engaging mystery, if you go along with a very far-fetched premise

[6/10 · 25 October 2021]

Well, that's certainly original: a police inspector investigating a murder case by impersonating the victim, of whom he luckily happens to be an exact doppelganger. If you can accept this wildly far-fetched premise, this is quite an engaging little murder mystery: it opens very brightly (even including a "meta" joke about actor Louis Jouvet), then the inventiveness slows down, but the film remains enjoyable. **1/2 out of 4.
