What happens

Double Crime in the Maginot Line (French: Double crime sur la ligne Maginot) is a 1937 mystery crime film directed by Félix Gandéra and starring Victor Francen, Véra Korène and Jacques Baumer. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Gys. The film was based on the 1936 novel of the same title by Pierre Nord. It was a popular success, partly due to increasing concerns about a future war with Nazi Germany. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
