The Man from London or The London Man (French: L'homme de Londres) is a 1943 French thriller film directed by Henri Decoin and starring Fernand Ledoux, Suzy Prim and Jules Berry. It is an adaptation of the novel of the same title by the Belgian writer Georges Simenon, which was later turned into the 1947 British film Temptation Harbour. It was shot at the Buttes-Chaumont Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art director Serge Piménoff.

Synopsis

A railway worker at a ferry port discovers a suitcase containing a large sum of money, the proceeds of a crime recently committed in London. He chooses to keep it rather than turn it over to the police, but it ends up luring him into a downwards spiral that eventually ends in murder.
