Originally released in France in 1937, Drôle de Drame (known in English as “Bizarre, Bizarre,” but more literally translating to “Funny Drama”) is a farce based on an English novel set in Victorian London. While rather complicated, the narrative is a comedy of errors in which a husband and wife are presumed missing while, in disguise, they are simultaneously attempting to solve their own disappearance. Meanwhile, the wife is seduced by an actual serial killer who then colludes with the husband to fake their deaths so they can start new lives as crime writers.
