Reception
The film had 1,935,094 admissions in France and ranked 31st in the year of 1983.[2]
Roy Armes wrote that "the limply written plot... never begins to create the requisite suspense and the wooden narcissism of the producer-star... merely serves as a reminder of how much livelier French cinema was before its stars achieved their present predominance."[3]
