Judge Fayard Called the Sheriff
1977 · 112 MIN · IMDB 7.2 · 876 VOTES · DIR. Yves Boisset
Overview
Jean-Marie Fayard is a young examining magistrate in a large provincial french city. He belongs to that generation of judges who are endeavoring to re-adapt the notion of justice to our changing times. His methods are not agreeable to every one. Criticism and pressure are brought to bear upon him but he is aware of his value, professionally, and refuses to make any concessions. He follows an unwavering course. He uses dynamic methods and takes uncustomary initiatives. He behaves like a crusader, a battler, whence the nickname given him by the reporters : the sheriff.

00:13:21 It was him, I tell you. I’d stake my head on it.
00:16:14 Your presence at the factory at night is not as continuous as you say it is.
00:19:37 I’m not trying to scare you.
00:23:49 - So a testimony is all that it was? - Nothing more.
00:27:14 I’ll drive you. They said now, so...
00:31:33 Cut the bullshit, Paulo.
00:34:34 - Are you surprised? - Oh, no.
00:39:54 She’s the Doctor’s girlfriend. That’s why I came to sniff around here.
00:43:54 One third for our friends, one third for me, one third for you.
