Es geschah am hellichten Tag (1958)



Having doubts about the guilt of the obvious suspect in the murder of an eight year old girl, a police detective decides to investigate the case on his own.

Toned-down adaptation of a much darker Friedrich Dürrenmatt story is well-made with a competent cast (Gert Fröbe is very convincing as the disturbed child murderer), but the happy ending is obviously forced on to please a larger audience.
