Definitely an absolute must-see for Bardot fans, this movie will also please those who love a big budget scenario with plenty of action. The relationship between hero, Lino Ventura and sex symbol, Brigitte Bardot, both on and off camera is definitely an odd one. It is obvious that both the stars hate each other. Ventura especially has no time whatever for Bardot and obviously resents making scenes with her. Fortunately, this serves the purposes of the plot rather well, although it does kill any interest we might have in the outcome of the said plot. But never mind! The plot is so full of superbly staged action sequences that it doesn't really matter. This one is available on a quite watchable Brentwood DVD.
