          Entertaining B French noir
          "Strange Mister Steve" is a good surprise in French film noir, far from perfect, but with fascinating itinerary of Georges Villard (Philippe Lemaire) from innocent employee to independant crook written by Frédéric Dard. I appreciated Armand Mestral playing Steve, the dandy crook capturing Villard in his trap with the help of tender Jeanne Moreau and Lino Ventura being at the opposite threatening (he was also violent in "Action immédiate" and "Sursis pour un vivant"). In the hands of Julien Duvivier, Henri Decoin, Clouzot, Jean Delannnoy,... it could have been better with more precise details. But it's still entertaining.
