Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the 1970s French 'polar' wave that blended American noir with European permissiveness—Scandelari was basically making his own version of a Sidney Lumet film but hornier.
Patrice Valota spent his entire career in French B-movies; this remains his most widely seen role thanks to international 'erotic thriller' VHS distribution.
