Reviews:

A decidedly minor affair
Closer to Agatha Christie than to Boileau-Narcejac who wrote the original story and collaborated with Franju on the screenplay, “Spotlight on a Murderer” is a decidedly minor affair, entertaining for what it is but unlikely to set the cinematic world on fire. For starters, it’s got a fairly ridiculous plot, (even Christie would have balked at this one); an old count, about to die, hides himself away in a secret room in his chateau so that his relatives won’t find his body and will have to wait 5 years for their inheritance. Naturally the corpses soon start piling up. Poiret or Miss Marple would have sorted it out in no time.
Review By: MOscarbradley
delightful and playful feel of this charming feature
Considering this is Georges Franju’s third feature, coming only a year after Eyes Without a Face and with a script by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac of Les Diaboliques and Vertigo fame, this is a surprisingly slight film. But there is mystery, charm and wonder throughout, helped enormously by the fantastic Breton castle setting. It is the soundtrack that quickly alerts the viewer to a musical box element of magic that will fun through the film that is at once dramatic with several deaths and slightly comedic at the same time. There is a charming on set featurette included on the Arrow Blu-ray disc that has the various cast members smiling and laughing, even Jean Louis Trintignant, and seems to epitomise the delightful and playful feel of this charming feature.
