If my memory serves me correctly, this movie appeared shortly after Hardy Kruger's famous movie, "The One that Got Away". In this movie, his acting style is much the same as before but I was pleasantly surprised that my interest was held so well by the other supporting cast. The presentation in black and white didn't seem to detract but I was perpetually frustrated by the brief exposure times for the subtitles, which, of course, reflected the speed of the French dialogue.
