Review by dbdumonteil

Based on the second novel of Souvestre and Allain ,this one is the weakest link.All the first part is incoherent ,whereas "Fantomas:A l'Ombre De La Guillotine" ,in spite of its numerous unlikelihoods ,-also present in the novel of course-,had a plot which made sense ,so to speak..Although I had read it,I found it hard to catch up with the plot.

Things go better in the second half :the basement creates an atmosphere of mystery as Fantomas sends his "mute executor" -an idea Pierre Souvestre and Marcel Allain borrowed from Conan Doyle ,one of Sherlock Holmes's cases-to get rid of Juve.This okay part paved a reliable way for the next,far superior episode.
