From the memoirs of François Eugène Vidocq, the elegant thief turned chief of police of all Paris, comes this rediscovered classic of melodrama and romance. George Sanders is at his debonair best as we see him climb from clever criminal through the ranks of French society in the early 1800s, with seemingly nothing to stop him from the biggest heist of his career … except, perhaps, the charms of a young lady.
“If you talk of art, I consider SCANDAL IN PARIS my best picture.” – Douglas Sirk
