Comments
- Turned in a few weeks with a small budget, this film is a wonder, in which Jean Poiret is sublime in this universe of small covetous and perverse middle-class men.
- Although it holds the important role of film, the character of Lavardin appears only at the end of 45 minutes.
- the following year, a second film, Inspector Lavardin, was carried out by Chabrol, always with Jean Poiret as a main character. These two feature films were followed of televised series in four episodes, the secret files of the inspector Lavardin.
