The Fleeing Dead

The Fleeing Dead (1936) is a comedy directed by André Berthomieu rated 7.1/10.

Two second-rate, hammy actors, Hector Trignol and Achille Baluchet, come up with a fake murder story to draw attention to themselves. Baluchet is to kill Trignol, who will temporarily disappear then reappear, as if by magic, during the trial. But things don't go according to plan.
