What happens

Latin Quarter (U.S. title: Frenzy ) is a 1945 British second feature ('B') thriller directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Derrick De Marney, Joan Greenwood and Beresford Egan. It was written by Sewell adapted from the play L'Angoisse by Pierre Mills and C. Vylars. It was Sewell's second film version of the story, following The Medium in 1934. It was made by British National Films at their studios in Elstree. Sewell called it "a very very artistic movie." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
