This one takes up where Big Deal on Madonna Street leaves off, with Comic Carlo Pisacane trying desperately to keep his tapeworm living in the style to which it has become accustomed. Vittorio Gassman and his Madonna Street gang wiggle through some funny scenes. Landru. Another Chabrol picture, this one with a screenplay by Françoise Sagan, whose cynical scenario is based on the French Bluebeard who murdered ten women during World...
