    Slow-moving and uninspired

    Lovers of 60s french films might be disappointed in this film which will probably bore you to death. "L'homme à la Buick" has nothing that looks like a plot, a point or any other redeeming features. And even though Fernandel does a good job, as usual, he looks as bored as the audience watching the film. All in all, "L'homme à la Buick" is a crime story with no suspense (and possibly the worst car chase in the history of cinema), a love story with no passion, and a moral tale with no wit.

    From a Buick 68

    Gilles Grangier 's heyday was behind him :one will never praise enough his great black and white films noirs of the 1955-1958 years.

    Wide screen and color do not make up for the paucity of the ideas and the platitude of the lines (the great Henri Jeanson was aging ,and was the ghost of himself) .

    Fortunately the cast,although wasted , is a strong hook :two monstres sacrés (Fernandel and Danielle Darrieux) ,plus talented actors such as Jean -PIerre Marielle , Claude Piéplu ....

    The final unexpected twist ,supposedly romantic,fails totally to convince.
