Le Crime De Monsieur Lange

Aroview: One of the dir.’s early classics. Rene Leferve rises to newsprint fame as the author of the serial “Arizona Jim” after his boss, a delightfully amoral Jules Berry, dies (seemingly) while on the run from creditors. Stirring multiple romances into the plot, Renoir invests his entertaining ‘comedie humaine’ with irony, freshness and wit.
