A Danger to Society (French: Danger pour la société) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Jean Martimbeau and released in 1970.[1] The film stars Paolo Noël as Rosaire, a man who is trying to live life on the straight and narrow after spending time in prison, but is being tempted back toward a life of crime after finding his ability to support himself and his family complicated by social prejudices against reformed criminals.[2]

The cast also includes Rita Bibeau as Rosaire's wife Hélène and Carole Lemaire as his daughter Nicole, as well as Rolland d'Amour, Claudette Delorimier and Jacques Bilodeau in supporting roles.[2]

The film was shot in 1969, and released to theatres in January 1970.[2]
