Dull, not that exciting

Did you ever wonder who was the French equivalent of Cary Grant? It was Raymond Rouleau. They had height, elegance and imperturbability in common; they were even born the same year, 1904. This film by Hunebelle shows Rouleau's abilities off pretty well, but I have to say the wisecracks and the physical comedy are well below the Hollywood standard that Grant exemplified for so many years. If this is a Michel Audiard script, it's not up to the high standard of his best work.

If you care, there is a gangster named Costelli who has made lots of money in the drug trade out of Indochina (it's the 50's, remember?) and a woman turns up dead in Georges Masse's apartment, and the police suspect him. I was busy admiring Martine Carol's lovely face and body for most of the running time.
