Assassin in the Phonebook

Assassin in the Phonebook (1962) is a drama, comedy film directed by Léo Joannon rated 6.3/10.

Fernandel plays Albert, the unhappy brunt of jokes by his fellow office-workers who goes from the frying pan into the fire. Albert gets caught up in a robbery that also goes from bad to worse when it leads to several murders. Although he is not a killer and essentially innocent, there does not seem to be very much that Albert can do to convince others of the truth.
