Ça détourne
Broadcast for the end-of-year holidays, this second diversion (which follows Derrick contre Superman) is a crazy cartoon show mixing original sequences presented by Valérie Payet and Philippe Dana with redoubled excerpts from cartoons with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck... and films with Steve McQueen, Burt Lancaster, Jack Nicholson, Jean Gabin, etc. This is the second of the three TV films of the Grand Détournement.
Family of Cops
Paul Fein is a veteran police detective whose son Eddie is also a cop. Paul is assigned to investigate the murder of a prominent businessman, and he soon learns that the field of suspects has been narrowed down to two—the victim's sexually freewheeling wife Anna, and Paul's wild-child daughter Jackie. Neither Paul nor Eddie believe that Jackie could have committed the murder, and soon Paul is using himself as a decoy in a bid to find out more about what Anna does and doesn't know about her husband's death.
