I will always remind and watch this film again for the Paul Meurisse's performance, which looks very like a Columbo's character. Something is wrong and funny in this cop role. I nearly only focus on him, more than on Helmut Berger. Look out how Paul Meurisse walks, how he talks, how he is dressed, like a scarecrow.... Helmut Berger is just bland, not concerned by his character. I am not surprised by this lame Sergio Gobbi's movie. Only a few of Gobbi's stuff is really good anyway, including the most memorable : LE TEMPS DES LOUPS. For the rest, including this one, it's only acceptable. So, to summarize, don't miss this one ONLY for Paul Meurisse. The plot looks like a James Hadley Chase's book adaptation. Wealthy people and greedy opponents, femme fatale - Françoise Fabian.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
