The best André Cayatte movie since "a Trap for Cinderella". It's really close to Costa Gavras and the final traps by Jean Yanne and Michel Bouquet are puzzling, based on their conflict on weapons trades for two opposite African countries. Poor François Périer and Monica Vitti are destroyed by National Security and it's above reality, they cannot escape to the National Security traps. The script is fascinating because everything is said about everybody on the subject of weapons trades, a strong subject still current. But remember, this is only a movie.
The entire casting is great, especially Monica Vitti as the poor victim, Jean Yanne is surprising as an official director.
