The Sword and the Balance
Director: André Cayatte
"A queer, a gigolo, and a brute—who could’ve done it?"
Three young men are suspected of kidnapping and murdering a little boy. Most likely, two of them are really involved, but one is not. All of their pasts are questionable, riddled with violence and controversy. Neither the police nor the court can decide how to solve that puzzle.
