Suivez cet Homme (Follow That Man) is, as indicated by its title, a crime drama. While celebrating his birthday, police inspector Basquier (Bernard Blier) recalls two of his most-celebrated cases. The first involves duplicitous moneylender Olga (Suzy Prin). The second concerns the brutal broad-daylight murder of innocent young Yvonne (Veronique Deschamps). The film's narrative is divided neatly into two halves, prompting some observers to conclude that Suivez cet Homme was designed as a television pilot. Suivez cet Homme was adroitly scripted by the dependable Jacques Remy.
