Remember the days of the old schoolyard

As far as French film noir is concerned ,Sergio Gobbi represents the nadir .All his movies are simplistic and derivative ,and when he has got a good idea ,he is not able to exploit it successfully: making the cop and the gangster school friends was certainly interesting ,but when it consists of sepia old movies introduced in the present, it does not amount to anything;and however ,both studied in an independent Roman Catholic school!!The cop (Aznavour) has a talk with the venerable priest principal; The gangster(Hossein) ,fascinated by the American names,calls himself "Dillinger" and when he meets the blond Virna Lisi -whose part is inept- ,it looks like a poor man's "Bonnie And Clyde"

Music by Aznavour/Gavarentz;a song was even written and was on the radio (the title of the film) but is not heard in the movie.

The movie was released late 1969;the IMDb information is not quite accurate .
