For performances, humor, lovely portrait of a small world and Lino Ventura in a role who seems be one of his admirable works. A story of duty, revenge, mafia and love. Using, as basic trait, great science to do the right comedy. A lovely film. Who, at the first sigh, works as parody. In fact, a film about appearences and truth. Having , as great good point, the best actors and the perfect plot.
