Synopsis: This film tells the real exploits of an Italian man who went to France and there lived as a burglar and a robber, murdering several people along the way.
Appraisal: I don't have exactly any negative comments to make about this film; what it sets itself to do, it does, namely, tell this person's bizarre story, avoiding speculations and keeping it to what was witnessed. Oddly, I found it simultaneously exciting and boring, perhaps not in the same degree, excitement winning by a small margin. But it's not much more than an extended version of one of those TV shows that depict "astounding crimes" and the like. Except here it is lifted by a uniformly stupendous cast, a compliment that inevitably extends to the director.
