La peau de l'ours (1957)
Commissioner Ledru works in Saint-Germain, a quiet town in the Paris suburbs. A town that is too quiet, where nothing ever happens. He consoles himself by growing roses. But he feels like he is stuck in a rut. Until the day he discovers that someone is poisoning him with arsenic. He begins to suspect everyone: his wife, a second wife much younger than him. His children from a first marriage, his son, who borrows money from everyone around him. His daughter, who wants to marry a young engineer. And one of his friends, a doctor, who is a little too close to his wife. Finally, his mother-in-law, who lives with him and exasperates him with her insistence that he have a child with her daughter. The commissioner becomes paranoid. He only eats and drinks food that he keeps in a safe. Will this paranoia end up destroying his family? Jean Richard masterfully directs this lively dramatic comedy.
