1942, during the German occupation of France.  Dr Marcel Petiot appears to be a model citizen, a man who is dedicated to helping others, caring for the sick and giving free consultations to his less well-off patients.  But there is a darker side to Dr Petiot.  He offers to help Jewish families escape the Nazis, but he merely takes them to their death in a macabre ritual so that he can steal their money...

Disappointing!  What could have been a great combination of Murder Mystery/Occupation drama is instead a plodding story about a man who commits one murder after another and nearly gets away with it. The country (France) is too busy coping with the Germans to take much notice. A good premise though (based on true events)
