Comments

It is the first of films of the “Gorilla” with a Lino Ventura as a police chief bourru and deadpan, with best of his form. The Gorilla is a character of Dominique Ponchardier, inventor of the word “Secret agent” and… secret agent himself.
to note that it is the only time that Lino Ventura interprets the role of the Gorilla, Roger Hanin succeeds the following year for the Waltz of the Gorilla to him.
