Strangers in the House (Aka Les Inconnus Dans La)

In the near-generation since his wife left him, once-prominent lawyer Hector Loursat (Raimu) descended into the bottle, and became an absentee father to his now-rambunctious daughter Nicole (Juliette Faber). Now, with a murder in his own house-and with an unknown member of Nicole's circle of other indolent kids being responsible-he has to muster every bit of his former skill. Absorbing take on the Georges Simeon novel co-stars Gabrielle Fontan, Héléna Manson. 95 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles.
