El mayordomo

The film somehow resembles another film made by Jean Delannoy, "Action Man" Original title: Le soleil des voyous 1967, in both films there is a well elaborated hold-up. If in "Action Man" the protagonists were Jean Gabin and Robert Stack, in "Le Majordome" the heroes are played by Paul Meurisse and Paul Hubschmid. In fact, the whole film is "a recital" by Paul Meurisse, the talented actor "stealing" the film with his extraordinary performance. The beautiful and talented Geneviève Page shines in the role of Agnès des Vallières alias Lieutenant Planchon from the judicial police. At the end of the film, a surprise appearance, extremely pleasant, but only for a few seconds, the incomparable, unique Bourvil, who is not even credited.
