English tite: The Empire of Night
It's not clear what the protagonist does exactly; one site claims he is just a "cabaret show organizer", but he has more of the demeanor of a performer, with a large feminine following and very fame-conscious; he is never shown singing or dancing, however, and does have a say on the show's contents. He is hired to do a show in France and upon arriving there gets involved with the widow of the man who hired him and a plot by the dead man's brothers to seize control of his assets.
Criminal comedy. I found it uninspired and tedious. The dialogue is quite elaborate, but I'm not sure that is a positive thing.
