Sleeping car - Supplemento rapido con cadavere

Renaud, who divides his time between gambling halls and racetracks, discovers that someone is paying off his debts. In exchange, he is asked for a favor: to steal a briefcase full of currency on the Paris/Lausanne express. Hesitant at first, he ends up accepting. On the train, Renaud meets ravishing Melba, a cabaret artist who does her Marlene Dietrich act .

Former actor Roger Pigaut's last theatrically-released work, it's sadly his less successful ;as an actor ,he starred in great movies ("douce" "sortilèges" "les frères bouquinquant ") ;his debut as a director began with a film aimed at the children's market "cerf-volant du bout du monde" ",one of the best movies ever released in this field ;his other efforts are moderately good . Thrillers "comptes à rebours" and "trois milliards sans ascenseur " .

"Le guêpier " is more tongue in chick , more a comedy than a thriller ;it takes time to take off ,and it does (moderately ) when both principals meet ; all in all , it's the actors who carry the film on their shoulders : Claude Brasseur as a rather grumpy misogynous amateur thief and charming (and rather limpet-like ) Swiss Marthe Keller ;both enliven a bit this trite and muddled script.
