La Cible vivante (1945)
13/01/1945 (US) - 78 minutesAu cours d'un spectacle dans un cabaret, un coup de feu retentit, suivi d'un cri. Toute la troupe cherche d'où provient le bruit tandis que la foule tétanisée ne s'intéresse déjà plus au numéro qui se poursuit sur scène. On découvre enfin le corps sans vie de l'une des artistes. La représentation doit s'interrompre. Les soupçons de la police ne tardent pas à se diriger sur le mari cependant que dans l'ombre du théâtre, au-dessus de la scène, un homme blessé ne perd pas une miette des interrogatoires. Une fois le cabaret désert, mourant, l'homme tombe sur la scène et confesse le crime à un clown resté là pour ranger ses affaires.
