    Disenchanted.
    I know this movie since my childhood and I just discovered it, with another glance. I like this film, an adventure yarn with no love interest and a deep character study, with no good nor evil guys, only grey characters. Lino Ventura plays here a rough and so shaded character. The checkers scene is very useful to understand both rivalry between the killer and the Mexican. By the way El Bosco character actor will be used four years later by Jose Giovanni in LA SCOUMOUNE, as the Jean Paul Belmondo's sidekick. This Mexican actor's role is interesting mainly thanks to the presence of his little monkey friend. Unusual.
