Considered Sacha Guitry's masterpiece, this fleet, witty picaresque about a gambler and petty thief is a whimsical delight. Guitry himself stars as the "tricheur" looking back fondly on a life of crime, which he narrates with an effervescence matched by his clever editing and cinematography. (Verleiher-Text)

Prioritäten setzen:
A film where form is definitely a crucial element. Essentially, the entire film is narrated through voice-over, which is a feature that simply captivates you. It reminds you of the beginning of Amelie, but on the other hand, it's not as imaginative or funny. The film clearly shows that the creator had an affinity for theatrical aesthetics, which significantly influenced the movie.
