Dear Inspector

1978 · 1h 45m · Comedy

IMDb 6.7

This French rom-com mystery hybrid is a charming curiosity with enough Parisian wit and unlikely chemistry to justify a casual evening watch, though the 6.7 IMDb score suggests it's more delightful than essential. If you're in the mood for something light that doesn't take itself seriously, it'll do the trick—just don't expect anything that'll blow your mind.

Plot

When Lise's car bumps Antoine's bike, they recognize each other from a brief fling 20 years before while at the Sorbonne. He's now a professor of Greek; she's loathe to tell him she's a police inspector. A call interrupts their first dinner date: a Deputy of the National Assembly has been murdered. She has a suspect, another Deputy, and must track him while deflecting Antoine's eye from her vocation. All roads in the inquiry lead to Christine Vallier, the dead Deputy's mistress, a beguiling 22-year-old whose mother ran the Assembly's snack bar. When more deputies die and Antoine learns Lise's identity, she must act quickly solve the crime and save her future.
