Interesting piece of French cinema, with "monstre sacré" Jean Gabin and famously acid dialogues by Michel Audiart.
The story is actually quite interesting and the era so foreign so this reviewer was actually metaphorically glued to their seat.
The White male characters are unfortunately first class condescendant towards minorities and women but this only sadly reflects the time and history of Western privilege.
In a nutshell: excellent and enjoyable stand alone part II in a trilogy with Master Liar Max the Trickster (personal free translation of Max le Menteur).
