Impelled by the inspector ends to find the real culprit, when that is going to repeat his exploits: the dandy Lydecken.

Zanuck, had initially entrusted to the director Rouben Mamoulian, but the task eventually fell on the shoulders of Viennese Preminger (1906-1986), a pupil of Max Reinhardt, detailed theater director who had directed a few films. Preminger was "a man who, beyond the purely practical puzzles, only interested in the truth feelings, "wrote Jacques Lourcelles. From this refined watch movements, which has the purity of the crystal and the evidence of a finding inspiration in paradoxical emotion. What are the 'Anatomy of a Murder "or of an amorous passion, from his films comes to one of the same fascination that we can' attach to diversity, elegantly resolved, including clinical observation and the sweetness of the story" ( Henri Agel). Even when it addresses the 'big issues', in which his talent could disperse, Preminger is equal to itself. His background is a deep concern to be objective, a tenacity equal to the challenge and eclecticism of a hundred, from which quality is not detached even during the years of a glaring lapse, that is, starting from 1970.
