This surprising and fairly unknown movie is a treat. The plot is simple, not at all complex, and the writing and acting is likewise. But to review this based on its cinematic merits misses the point. It is a murder mystery from filmed in1949 set in and centered around the Tour de France. Filmed during the 1948 Tour, its loaded with vintage scenes and shots from the carnival that is La Grande Boucle. Plus, its entirely in French with no subtitles. Easy to follow even not knowing a word of French. I've watched it repeatedly.
