Spotlight on a Murderer

Much to the chagrin of his grasping nephews and nieces, the eccentric--and terminally ill--Count Hervé de Kerloguen (Pierre Brasseur) abruptly vanished without a trace. Needing to keep up his palatial estate until he can be legally declared dead, the would-be heirs convert it into a tourist attraction--but it wasn’t part of their marketing campaign to be systematically killed, one by one! Eerie effort from director Georges Franju ("Eyes Without a Face") co-stars Jean-Louis Trintignant, Pascale Audret, Marianne Koch, Dany Saval. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French PCM mono; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles. Two-disc set.
