In Paris, the police inspector Marceau Leonetti (Lino Ventura) is a decorated and efficient police officer. When he arrests the son of a powerful lawyer, who was drunken and driving in a reckless way, his father destroys his professional life and Leonetti falls in disgrace. He is transferred to a minor police station to work with the gorgeous Jeanne Dumas (Marlène Jobert) arresting perverts in movie theaters. Out of the blue, Leonetti is invited to find the mysterious Roger Martin (Philippe March), who is the witness of a murder of a man by a powerful mobster and has gone missing five years ago. Now Leonetti and Jeanne have five days to find the unknown man.
"Dernier domicile connu" (1970), a.k.a. "Last Known Address" is a great police story that shows how the French police and justice worked in the 70's. Lino Ventura performs a tough and efficient police inspector aware of the system and the lovely Marlène Jobert, the mother of Eva Green, performs a sensitive woman that deeply feels how the system works. The conclusion with the fate of Roger Martin is realistic but disappoints. My vote is seven.
