Panique (1947)


Based on the Georges Simenon novel Les Fiançailles de monsieur Hire, Panique is a dark crime drama, essentially a French film noir, about the relationship between a scheming couple hoping to avoid the law and the town's most unpopular resident. Michel Simon gives one of his greater performances as the iconoclastic resident, who still yearns for love despite the gloom and suspicion that surrounds him. The film's plot winds to an absorbing, powerful climax. The film's contempt of small community prejudice brings to mind Fritz Lang's Fury (1936). The same story was later adapted by Patrice Leconte as Monsieur Hire (1989).

The film gets 3 1/2 stars in Leonard Maltin's guide.
