The Man on the Eiffel Tower (1949)

A Maze Of A Story


This film is a bit of a maze to watch - it does take some twists and turn and some of leads the police to a dead end while other paths leads to the killer. Exciting to watch.

Bill Kirby (Hutton) is a married man but falls for his wife's best friend, he also has a rich aunt that is the victim of murder along with her maid.  Joseph Heurtin (Meredith) is a man that set up to take the rap for the double murder. Inspector Jules Maigret (Laughton) is out to get the real killer Johann Radek (Tone). The Eiffel Tower will take center stage quite often in this film - in particular the climax of the movie.

Worth watching if you like dirty, gritty crime films and a few twists that keep the movie very interesting.

8/10
