it is nothing more than a sketch. sketch of a film noir.same rules. same clichés. and the only special nuance is the presence of Francoise Arnoul. the presence more than acting. because it is not exactly a story about French Resistance but a kind of...drawing. nice, seductive, interesting as support of many similar scenes. and explanation for its success. after decades, it remains only one of the films who preserves a delicate flavor. this is a virtue. but not more to be , after a new view, a sort of historical document, proofing the skills of director, the magnetism of the lead actress, the dialogues and the eroticism, the fight of Maquis and its perception after the cinema after the second World War.
