Scandale aux Champs-Élysées

As mentioned above, I did not watch the film completely nor am fluent in French but I can say that the film is mezzo-mezzo and that some scenes aren't that scary or suspenseful as they could've been (as mentioned by the other review here by dbdumonteil) but it was a bit nice to see nicely dressed ladies and Jacques Fath also on film.

It's the first time I see a French Film Noir/Thriller type of movie. It was interesting, pitifully I wish it was better.. and more suspenseful.

Like Jacques Becker's "Falbala" ,"Scandale aux Champs Elysees" takes place in the chic world of fashion.But there the comparison ends.Roder Blanc's flick is a rather mediocre thriller,not really scary and not even suspenseful.

Models are strangled among a top designer's staff.A cop is investigating.The usual suspects : the boss (Pierre Renoir whose part is actually very small),a sexually repressed clerk...

The only real interest lies in the song ,the "Mademoiselle de Paris" waltz which was a big hit a long time ago in France but which is almost forgotten today.Jacqueline François sings it and she also dubs the actress who plays the "masked singer" 's part for another song.
