Operation Magali (French: Opération Magali) is a 1953 French thriller film directed by László V. Kish and starring Raymond Souplex, Nicole Maurey and Germaine Montero.[1] It is based on the 1951 novel Operation Magali by Maurice Dekobra. It was shot at the Victorine Studios in Nice. The film's sets were designed by the art director Aimé Bazin.
Magali is the moll of a gang leader, but jealous of his behaviour towards a younger woman she threatens to go the police and inform about his activities. The gangster wants her silenced and turns to Mario, a retired criminal, to do the hit. Reluctantly he agrees but approaches the police for help, who advise him to play along with the scheme. When Magali is then found murdered, suspicion naturally turns to Mario.
