The Strange Monsieur Victor (French: L'Étrange Monsieur Victor) is a 1938 French-German drama film directed by Jean Grémillon and starring Raimu, Pierre Blanchar and Madeleine Renaud. It was shot at the Tempelhof Studios in Berlin.
Seasoned stage actor Raimu gives an intriguing performance as respected Toulon shopkeeper by day, seedy trader/impromptu killer by night Monsieur Victor. Pierre Blanchar complements this with the inverse of Victor—low in society, good in nature Bastien, who is falsely convicted of Victor’s crime.
In this moody crime thriller, the well-respected shopkeeper Monsieur Victor (Raimu)—who clandestinely does business with a gang of criminals in the French port town of Toulon—holds onto a terrible secret when the local cobbler Bastien (Pierre Blanchar) is sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
Fearing a scandal, Victor kills the crook in a moment of panic, using a shoemaker's tool. Naturally, the murder is blamed on a local shoemaker, who is sentenced to ten years' hard labour. Seven years later, the former shoemaker reappears in Toulon, having escaped from prison.
