Another of these stories of the German Occupation which throve in the years following WW2.This one,in spite of Bernard Blier's presence ,has got nothing to recommend it;uninteresting characters ,poor script,turgid music,a spate of clichés (the doctor's daughter falling in love with the German M.O. ,and standing in great danger of being cropped by the angry crowd).
Few works are worthwhile in Georges Lautner's essentially commercial career.However ,the following year ,when he directed "le septième juré" ,again featuring Bernard Blier as the lead,the two men pulled it off that time.
