Named after a race horse, this free French comedy of crime and blandishment gives the beast a mere nod during the opening credits, then plunges into an orgy of intrigues on a pretty fast track.

He had been hired by Judge Joseph A. Peel, said Lincoln, because Peel feared that Chillingworth was about to expose the protection he was selling to moonshiners and numbers men. Peel went to prison for life...
