The Mystery of Marie Roget (1942): Cast & Plot

In 1889 Paris, the disappearance of Marie Roget Maria Montez hangs over the city as a tense mystery. A police inspector, Gobelin Raymond Bailey, leads the case, but he finds his authority challenged by the French Minister for Naval Affairs, Henri Beauvais John Litel, a friend of Marie’s grandmother, Madame Cecile Roget Maria Ouspenskaya and her younger sister Camille Roget Nell O’Day. Beauvais, not content with the investigation, tries to steer the inquiry away from trouble and even threatens to remove Gobelin from the case, setting the stage for a clash-of-will between power and procedure. To counter this, Gobelin enlists medical officer Dr. Paul Dupin Patric Knowles, a figure whose calm, methodical approach promises a deeper probe into the strange events surrounding Marie and her family.
