L'empreinte des géants

Maybe I am still too much under the influence of LES GRANDES GUEULES, another Robert Enrico's film, made fourteen years earlier, and itself adapted from a José Giovanni's book. But the charm is not here anymore, maybe because there is no François de Roubaix's score. Good intentions and performances, good character symphony for a plot that could have been better in a series frame. That's my own opinion. No real lead here, as Lino Ventura and Bourvil in LES GRANDES GUEULES.... But that remains a good Robert Enrico's film, though not his best. Some José Giovanni's touch from time to time. Yes, it looks very much like a TV movie, or Tv series. But who cares? I also thought of some John Ford's films atmosphere I mean relations between characters.
