Guns of Darkness. Something of a sleeper: a routine south-of-the-border bit that develops into a philosophical thriller of remarkable moral insight.

The Girl with the Golden Eyes. When a rake and a dyke fall in love with the same girl, almost anything can happen, and practically everything does in Jean-Gabriel Albicocco's skillful but vicieuse version of a tale by Balzac.

Money, Money, Money. Jean Gabin and a gang of French comedians manufacture $2,000,000 worth of guldens—and that ain't mustard.
