cops and robbers mix-up

Inspector Leblanc was chosen by Jeanne to avenge her brother who was murdered by Brasier, who, despite his honest appearance, is involved in criminal activity. But the real leader of the gang is Cortedani, whom no one can meet. Leblanc, following the chain, discovers Cortedani, then spends an unpleasant time.

The story may seem rather simple ,but it is actually terribly muddled and it is often hard to tell apart the cops and the robbers ;it was Ralph Habib's first effort ,and the following movies did not improve on it;his directing is flat and does nothing to enliven the paucity of the screenplay;female star Anne Vernon would see better days (Jacques Becker's works ,"les parapluies de Cherbourg").

This 'rue des Saussaies " became notorious duting the Occupation:it was the gestapo headquarters.
