Commandant X

The Morel File (1x1)

Air date: Oct 30, 1962

The action of the "Dossier Morel" is located in Algiers in 1943 in a half-abandoned winter garden and is transported, by successive backwards, in different places of the Paris of the Occupation. An officer of the secret services questions Lieutenant Jean Morel, aviator of the Free French Forces, who in April 43 crossed the Spanish border to go to Algeria in the French army. But at that time the Germans often sent agents to poison the French forces in Algiers and Morel was accused of being one of them. Is he really a Nazi agent? A clever guy who plays on both sides? An impulsive who has committed imprudences? Or is he totally innocent? The truth breaks out at the end of the interrogation after some rewindings on episodes likely to enlighten the investigation as the activities of Morel in Paris and its clandestine crossing of the Franco-Spanish border.
