"...Well acted and moody..."

Description by OLDIES.com:

A criminal genius orchestrates a complex game of murder, ensnaring everyone around him in his web of deceit. After a wealthy American is murdered, a poor street vendor found with blood on his hands is the obvious suspect. Inspector Maigret discerns that there is more to the story and begins to decipher hidden clues buried beneath the surface. When the detective and the mastermind come face to face, they engage in an thrilling battle of wills. The killer leads the police on a furious chase through the streets and rooftops of Paris, lashing out as the noose grows tighter around him.

Directed by and starring Burgess Meredith, The Man on the Eiffel Tower was shot on location in Paris. Meredith went to great lengths to create an authentic tone of mystery, featuring the city's most famous landmarks throughout the story.

Product Description:

This psychologically powerful drama deals with the efforts of a brilliant police inspector to break down the will of a man he suspects of murder. The lack of evidence forces the wily detective to resort to subtle interrogative techniques.

Rating 4.0 Man on the Eiffel Tower
Movie Lover: from Cambridge, OH US -- October, 4, 2007

Laughton and Tone are fascinating in this cat and mouse game. I enjoyed seeing Jean Wallace (Tone's wife at the time and later wife of Cornell Wilde); she made too few films. Best of all is seeing Paris in the late 1940's. Color is faded, but you get over it.


Rating 4.0 an unusual maigret movie
Movie Lover: DAVID PYKE from Norwich, England UK -- January, 24, 2005

i really enjoyed this film. although the colours are a bit faded this suited the melancholy story that onfolds during the course of the movie. laughton is excellent as maigret but is outshoe by tone as a really nasty pyschotic killer. the finale on the eiffel tower is truly exciting.


Rating 3.0 LAUGHTON and TONE are great together
Movie Lover: John T from Redding, CA US -- October, 27, 2003

Sit back and enjoy an interesting little movie directed by Burgess Meredith.
Franchot Tone is a wonderfully sinister villain and Charles Laughton is equally cunning as Inspector Maigret.
As an added bonus, Meredith's filming gives us beautiful views of post World War II Paris.
So turn up the volume and enjoy this tight little thriller with three great actors in an unusual and captivating movie.
