Extenuating Circumstances
( Circonstances atténuantes )Release date 1939 94 min Comedy
A retired prosecutor, Le Sentencier, is unable to forget his former job. He leaves on a cure with his wife, but their car breaks down and they have to spend the night at a hotel. The establishment serves as the headquarters for a gang of two-bit criminals. Taken for one of their own, Le Sentencier organizes the gang's various thefts in his own manner, to convince them to give up their lives of crime and take honest jobs.
