Assassin in the Phonebook

Directed by Léo Joannon

With Fernandel, Georges Chamarat, Henri Crémieux, Robert Dalban and Marie Déa

Fernandel plays Albert, the unhappy brunt of jokes by his fellow office-workers who goes from the frying pan into the fire. Albert gets caught up in a robbery that also goes from bad to worse when it leads to several murders. Although he is not a killer and essentially innocent, there does not seem to be very much that Albert can do to convince others of the truth.
