A tired and boring detective thriller. Four men rob a bank; they all wear big hats to help us identify them. They time the robbery exactly so that they can pretend to catch a little local train to make good their escape (although actually this is a feint: they don't get on it, and leave by car). All this is working towards a big train robbery, where bags of drugs are taken from a drug courier. One of the gang hangs out of the train and hooks the bags on to a rope dangling from a helicopter. The helicopter is flying above the train as it speeds through the night. This process takes ages and the train and helicopter must have covered several miles during the process -- what luck there were no bridges over the railway line -- and the model sequences are childishly crude.
There was a period in the 1960s and early 1970s when police chiefs were suave, and this one certainly is, but to present-day audiences the whole thing looks frankly unbelievable. This is worsened by the long pauses in dialogue, in some cases with two actors just staring at one another for several seconds, with the camera switching from one to the other.
There is a transvestite prostitute, Gaby played by Valérie Wilson, who is a police informer. It is obvious that she has been intimate with the police chief, although he treats her quite roughly, and at one point he tells her she will have to stop dressing in drag.
The film has been distributed under the title Dirty Money.
