Father Brown
An open and shut case of Guinness! Up to his EARS in chaos... Up to his NECK in laughs
Directed by Robert Hamer
Produced by Facet Productions, Columbia Pictures Corporation
A charming, light-hearted mystery-comedy about a priest detective pursuing a master thief across Paris, balancing wit and moral redemption.
Works of art are disappearing, stolen by a master thief, a master of disguise. Father Brown has two goals: to catch the thief and to save his soul.
