Lemmy Caution is back for his fifth French film as the hard boiled FBI agent. Rarely seen not hitting someone, drinking whiskey or grabbing a woman, he was an enormously popular character in France. Hard to say why exactly. Kind of like their love for Jerry Lewis and garlic. Some things can't be explained. Caution was played by American actor Eddie Constantine for eight films from 1953 to 1965 (the very peculiar Alphaville from Godard is the most famous) and then years later reprised the role a few times. Constantine had no acting experience when he was first chosen for the role - the producer just thought he looked suitably tough with a face that had seen some long nights…

It's not Alphaville, but Eddie Constantine despite being dubbed into English is pretty charismatic and entertaining. Sadly the version I'm having to watch it is a censored American version that apparently does away with some nudity.
