Образ Уленшпигеля - бродяги, плута и балагура - начал складываться в немецком и фламандском фольклоре в XIV в. Обилие анекдотов и шванков об Уленшпигеле сделало этот персонаж собирательным, подобно Ходже Насреддину. Если верить народной молве, Тиль - историческое лицо. Он якобы родился около 1300 г. в Кнайтлингене, много путешествовал по Германии, Бельгии и Нидерландам. Нидерландский кинорежиссер Йорис Ивенс совместно с Жераром Филипом снял фильм "Приключения Тиля Уленшпигеля". Роли Тиля и Ламме Гудзака исполнили соответственно Жерар Филип и Жан Карме. В XVI-м веке, когда Фландрия оккупирована испанцами, Тиль-проказник поступает на службу к Фердинанду Альваре де Толеде, герцогу Альба (в фильме герцога часто называют просто Альб) и помогает своей хитростью и проворностью организовать сопротивление захватчику...

The title of this French noir drama translates to The Black File. Jean-Marc Bory plays Jacques Arnaud, an idealistic young investigator who comes to work in a small French town. He is soon involved in a mysterious case incriminating a town notable. Arnaud devotes himself to the case but the upshot of this is rather surprising to all concerned, not to mention the audience. Like Cayatte's previous efforts, Le Dossier Noir is based on the proposition that the phrase "French justice" can at times be oxymoronic.
