Secrets of the French Police is a 1932 American Pre-Code crime film directed by A. Edward Sutherland and starring Gwili Andre, Gregory Ratoff, and Frank Morgan.
The film was made as a B film by RKO Radio Pictures, using some of the sets from RKO's The Most Dangerous Game (1932). The film is based partly on Samuel Ornitz's own unpublished novel The Last Empress.
In Paris, a French thief is employed by the Sûreté to investigate a sinister Russian émigré who may have the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia at his house.
