Le mort en fuite is a film by André Berthomieu assisted by André Zwobada with Carlo Rim as dialogue writer and adapter; the main roles were played by Michel Simon Jules Berry and Marie Glory. Here is the synopsis: Two mediocre actors from the ""Folies printanières"" Hector Trignol Jules Berry and Achille Baluchet Michel Simon invent an imaginary crime to gain publicity: Achille will pretend that he murdered Hector out of romantic rivalry and when the press seizes upon this news item the ""victim"" will reappear to exonerate Achille and make him a hero. For authenticity the two friends threaten each other in public and make noise in their room before Hector secretly leaves the building without being seen by the concierge. But contrary to what the two accomplices had imagined no one pays attention to Hector's disappearance and he grows impatient in his hideout in Brussels. He finally sends an anonymous letter to the Public Prosecutor to report the ""crime"" but despite Baluchet's efforts to make himself appear suspicious the investigators only believe in Trignol's ""disappearance"". It is then that the revue leader Myra supposedly the cause of the romantic rivalry between Baluchet and Trignol decides to profit from the latter's disappearance for her own publicity. Achille is finally arrested and in vain he proclaims his innocence first before the examining magistrate then before the criminal court. The verdict falls: he will be sentenced to capital punishment and his request for presidential pardon will be rejected. Meanwhile feeling watched Trignol has taken refuge in Berlin then in Warsaw where he was kidnapped because he is the double of Russian General Mikhaïl Popov. He will appear before a court martial and be sentenced to be shot. The set is presented in a cardboard box whose lid is missing. unknown
