Burgess Meredith Collection - The Man On The Eiffel Tower

John Radek (Franchot Tone) is an impoverished Parisian medical student who overhears Billy Kirby (Robert Hutton) saying that he wished somebody would murder his wealthy aunt so that he could collect the inheritance. Radek decides to kill the old lady and her maid but is surprised by an incredibly short sighted burglar, Heurtin (Burgess Meredith). When Heurtin stumbles over the dead body he unwittingly incriminates himself and becomes the focal point if the police investigation.

Inspector Maigret (Charles Laughton) has to solve one of his most infamous cases as he pursues the murdered across the rooftops and streets of Paris. As the two protagonists play a deadly game of cat and mouse, Maigret confronts his suspect in a stunning climax on top of the Eiffel Tower.
