Comments

Sean Connery perhaps passed the age of the “jamesbonderies”, but he excels in the role of professor vis-a-vis an exceptionally gifted pupil. The character of Arsène Lupin is revisited and modernized, and the topic is not without recalling that of the Hand to the collet of Alfred Hitchcock, all things considered. The realization is with the image of the preparation of burglings: meticulous person.
