Viewing Notes
RIP Jean-Paul Belmondo
April 9, 1933 - September 6, 2021
Even in this proto-Romancing the Stone action adventure, Belmondo is so dynamic and really makes this silly story work. I’ve only seen a paltry handful of his films over the years but he’s always been an unforgettable highlight in each. Didn’t realize he did his own stunts; there are some crazy ones in this flick and a quick edit before he topples a motorcycle.
