Stop the Massacre (1959)
Directed by André Hunebelle
Overview
Promoted to wrestling champion by chance, Tonin, known as le Bourreau de l’Ardèche, moves to Paris. He is quickly snapped up by Monsieur Bob, a self-styled manager who, in reality, hides his dealings under the cover of a nightclub, but who is also Tonin’s regimental buddy. So Tonin acts as a front man, while Bob provides him with fake victories. The beautiful Wanda, the gangster’s mistress, appeals to Tonin; she’s charitable and sets him on the right path. He returns to the Ardèche and marries the daughter of the village mayor, after learning what a dangerous protector Bob is.
