Adapted from a Jeam Amila's novel, I think it is faithful to the original story. That was not so difficult, very easy to shoot from the book. As far as I remember, the editing of the tale is very similar.
A gangster is back in business after a while and tries to take it back. In the hard way. But every thing goes wrong for him. In the same time, we watch the fate of a young nurse in a hospital. Soon, the two stories meet,when the gangster faces his "problems".
It's a very old fashioned story, as we saw in the fifties, with dialogues that could not be used today. But the characters are fine, especially the mob moll - played by Madeleine Robinson. A hard boiled gangster's wife. Bernard Blier plays the hood in question, sometimes shown as a nasty macho, but on the other hand somewhat sensitive different. With the young nurse.
We can watch this little programmer with pleasure. No length. And, again, surprising characters we don't see every where.
Jean Amila was a crime novel writer who made social stories, the first ones, at a time where the only topics were Agatha Christie likes or gangster tales, in slang spoken. This was the fifties fashion. That movie is built this way. No real social problems are shown here, except perhaps daily life in a hospital.
