I saw this film on the BBC in the late 1960s. It may be either French or Italian, and involves strange happenings in a cinema. During the screening of a Western movie an audience member is shot dead. The police arrive, stage a reconstruction, and at exactly the same point in the screened film someone sitting in the audience is shot dead. It appears as if the on-screen characters are shooting the audience!
This is all played straight, as a bizarre mystery which the police attempt to solve via reconstruction and deduction. I recall it was called 'Split Second' (obviously something else in the original language) but that might be wrong. There is NO trace of this film in any of the usual sources, although I have met people who remember the plot and have indeed seen the film more recently.
I've been trying to find out about this movie for at least ten years. Apart from anything else I can't remember how it was resolved in the end!
