 inspectorlavardin
Inspector Lavardin (Jean Poiret) arrives in this small provincial town to investigate a murder of a prominent dead man found on the beach with PIG smeared on with lipstick across his naked backside.
The film starts with a surprise and ends with a debatable moral ending to the murder case, which is geared to be pleasing to the audience's sense of what is right rather than one that follows the law.
Poiret is superb as Lavardin, his dry wit and the persistent way he carries out the investigation sets the film's laconic tone, setting up the bizarre turn of events in a magnificently comic fashion.

Les Robes de Paul Poiret : Illustrated in 1908 by the young artist Paul Iribe in original, hand-coloured stencil prints, this first landmark album of Art Deco fashion plates thoroughly usurped the Belle Epoque and marked the beginning of a bold and liberalized image of women through fashion.

Poiret worked with Michel Serrault on several films, and wrote the script for La cage aux folles, one of the most successful French films of all time.

But the bulk of the film is in fl and white as we meet the characters who populate Ben Hecht's Hollywood.

Others who figure prominently are studio head J.B. Cobb (Bernard Blier), clearly patterned after Louis B. Mayer; the film's hyper director Hercule Potnik (Wojtek Pszoniak); the film's stars Dennis Wilde (Yan Epstein), Elvina Bliss (Pauline Lafont) and John Paul Jones (Mike Marshall); and, once the murders begin, the chief investigator (Guy Marchand).

Maybe, but considering that his idol is Hitchcock, things aren't always as they seem.

As the hard-nosed but polished cop, Jean Poiret drills through Chabrol's autumnal haze of blues, golds, browns, reds, silvers, and whites.
