Directed by Sacha Guitry
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Criterion Eclipse)
Sacha Guitry vanity piece in which he narrates the story of his life while writing in a cafe. It's essentially a silent film, the narration covers every little detail including dialogue, and it gets tiresome. It's also episodic, glossing over such details as his war service, but emphasizing, of course, his love life, which includes dozens of women. His change of heart from professional thief in the casinos of Monte Carlo to honest security guard comes across as insincere.
