Review :

Sunset Boulevard meets Double Indemnity

A solid film noir with strong echoes of Sunset Boulevard (the "kept man" who comes to hate his keeper) and Double Indemnity. The dialog lacks the crackle of the best noir, and I found the performance by leading man Henri Vidal lackluster. Some of the rear-projection driving scenes are unintentionally hilarious -- they reminded me of a sequence in Airplane! And a scene at a wrestling match -- possibly a failed attempt at foreshadowing -- seemed badly out of place, more appropriate for Nothing Sacred or (Zucker Brothers again) a Police Squad! episode. But Mylène Demongeot is terrific (not to mention hot) in a fresh-faced variation on Barbara Stanwyck's femme fatale role in Double Indemnity. The plot has several nice twists. Hard to find (I happened to spot a poorly transferred VHS copy at a library book sale) but worth checking out.
