Dr. Petiot Movie Review 1990

Based on the true life story of a French WWII doctor who promised to smuggle Jews to freedom but instead killed them for their money and possessions. He was executed in 1946--accused of 60 murders and convicted of 27. The gruesome details are left to the imagination rather than shown. In French with subtitles.
