In French with English subtitles. French title: Entre Onze Heures et Minuit.

Writer/director Henri Decoin serves up another sure-fire box-office winner in Entre Ouze Heures et Minuit (Between 11 O'Clock and Midnight). Louis Jouvet stars as Inspector Carrel, who is quite surprised to learn that he has an exact double, a notorious criminal. When his look-alike is killed, Carrel assumes the dead man's identity, hoping to pick up a few clues concerning a few unsolved cases. The first thing he learns is that his double had a very healthy sex life. When he's not up to his kneecaps in dead bodies, Carrel is fending off a steady stream of lovely young ladies.

Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Fleetwood, PA United States  
A marvelous complex whodunit that could have been rated a classic except for a few flaws.Don't read this unless you want to know beforehand who done it.I can't accept the inspectors needlessly provoking a gun battle in a crowded night club,unless he wanted to eliminate the eyewitnesses to the murder committed by his girlfriend,which he did accomplish.This was probably done by the director to give the impression that they were going to go their merry way together.But I guess in French cinema at that time,as in the US,the guilty had to pay at the end.Soon afterwards he arrests her himself,assuring her that she will only get 5 years probation.She followed her lover and premeditatedly shot him in the back 3 times from a moving car because he was leaving her.The administration of the law was quite different in France than in the US,but to hope for such a sentence seems too extraordinary.Especially since shortly before he had promised a thieving young girl a long prison sentence.
