Le dolmen tragique

The plot centers around Chatelard, a guest of Viscount de Kerlec, who dies under suspicious circumstances. Detective-inspector Pauc is assigned to investigate the case and arrives at the viscount's manor, where he interacts with the guests, all potential suspects. Among them are Jacques Mauclerc, a naval officer, and Bartoli, a spy seeking secret documents. The investigation culminates in a dramatic séance that reveals the truth behind the murder.

As a film from the late 1940s, Le dolmen tragique offers a glimpse into post-war French cinema, particularly within the crime genre. The interplay of mystery and the elements of a whodunit make it a notable entry in the era's film landscape. Collectors may find interest in its narrative and character-driven plot that reflects the period's cinematic tendencies, as well as the performances of its top cast, including Paulette Dubost and Roland Armontel.
