Top-shelf cast in a rather disappointing film

Reviewed by dbdumonteil

This movie has no more alibi.

Pierre Chenal who made the first version of "postman always rings twice' (le grand tournant) two years later was a minor film noir director."L'alibi" has not worn well and has little to grab an audience today.A phony magician (Von Stroheim)commits murder and pays a girl to be his "alibi".A cop (Jouvet) investigates in a very dubious way:one of his colleagues (Préjean) will seduce the girl in order to make her tell the truth.What follows is easy to guess for sure.Bad screenplay and two great actors are wasted.Best scene shows Von Stroheim talking about French and English vocabulary with Jouvet and wondering at the similarities (discret and discreet).
