WHO KILLED SANTA CLAUS?
(1941, 105m) dir Christian-Jaque w/Harry Baur, Renée Faure, Marie-Hélène Dasté. It’s Christmas Eve in a snowy French mountain village and a body is discovered, dressed as Santa. Hysteria soon spreads and accusations fly. The first film produced by the German controlled Continental Films, who regulated film production under the occupation, this is more than a fireside mystery for a chilly night. Christian-Jaque creates a parable for collaboration, and subversively portrays a perilous moment in French history, when neighbors denounced each other and wondered who was to be trusted. Brand new restoration!
