Eddie Constantine does not portray Lemmy Caution here,but a FBI agent .His co-star,Christiane Minazzoli was no starlet but essentially a stage actress who would play Molière and others ; both actors would meet again in Michel Deville 's "lucky Jo", which is somewhat better than "women first ".

But ,except for the last third when the movie runs out of steam ,it's generally quite entertaining.

Juliette's husband has been murdered by his partner who used his firm as a cover for his drug trafficking; there's a woman in the south of France who is in possession of definite pieces of evidence which prove the associate 's crime. Constantine becomes Juliette's bodyguard ,for her enemy wants to do away with her.

This is essentially a road movie ; transport strike which causes traffic jams in France is not that much different from the 2020 country ; the policeman, snowed under with work urges (actually forces) the drivers to take passengers . So Juliette and her attentive escort have to drive a chic family whose daughter (a cast against type Bernadette Laffont)wraps in furs ; and the gangsters who follow them have to do the same,notably an angler whose likely stories end up annoying the driver .

Constantine has plenty of go, and the story knows only pace :accelerated ;in spite of a trite ending , it's never boring.
