Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJacques Deray decided to put every one in an uncomfortable feeling during the shooting, especially Lino Ventura, giving him the lines to learn without explanation, on purpose, to help everyone in the crew to immerse into the complexity and mystery of the intrigue. Ventura rarely spoke to anyone between scenes, glued to his character, a man prisoner of a spider's web, but at the end of the shooting he claimed that the experience was real fun for him. Jacques Deray was surprised by this.
Featured review
No interest whatsoever
Let me get this straight. I'm a huge Ventura's fan. I love every single movie he's even been in. Every single movie but this one, that is. I've found very frustrating not to understand the first thing about the plot. What is this movie all about? Spies? Secret war? State secrets? Traffic? We have no clue. So you keep watching it, thinking that sooner or later you may have the key to understand why you've stayed this far. Only the key never come, giving the whole movie a sense of emptiness that I've never experiences before. So if you want to lose your time, to feel frustrated and empty, go for it. If you want a head and tail movie though, you'll have to go elsewhere, for there is no such simple thing herein.
