A smooth-talking French thief, Vidocq, becomes a police chief, and his charm and nerve get him in and out of scrapes.
Sinekatalog’s take
Douglas Sirk's period comedy, with George Sanders and Signe Hasso, is light, witty and elegant, a pleasant, almost Lubitsch-like caper.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
