A young girl is murdered a short distance from a French apartment complex. Monsieur Hire is a local tailor, he doesn't have any friends, keeps to himself, doesn't talk to the people in the town and no one likes him. The detective investigating the murder case believes Hire must be the murderer. In the apartment across from Hire is young and attractive Alice. Hire has been watching her from his window, she notices him at his window and gets to know him to find out what he wants.This movie has unusual twists and the ending is not what you expect. Hire is different because he is shy and lonely. This is almost like an Alfred Hitchcock movie with low-key acting and much said through glances and gestures. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
