'Speaking of Murder' is a 1957 French crime film directed by Gilles Grangier and starring Jean Gabin. The original French title is 'Le rouge est mis', which means "the red light is on". The screenplay is based on a novel by Auguste Le Breton.
Plot
Louis Bertain (Gabin) is the owner of a Paris garage which is the front for a robbery gang. He and his accomplices are careful to keep up a civic veneer by day, indulging in criminal activities only when "the red light is on" at night. This status quo is upset when one of the gang members becomes convinced that Louis' younger brother is a police informer.
