Film Notes

Justin is a gentleman and a professional criminal. Concerned with enforcing the law of the underworld, our man settles scores with smalltime pimps of the Canebière who treat women badly. Maurice Tourneur confirms his sophisticated directing talent, and the numerous action scenes are the opportunity for him to give free reign to his sense of ellipsis and concision.

A no-nonsense style that can compete with the masters of American lm noir. His propensity towards sophistication, however, is accompanied by a mischievous sense of humor in depicting Marseille, its clichés and verbal extravagance…
