Plot Synopsis

With the help of his hapless chauffeur, a Machiavellian criminal robs a casino in the South of France disguised as duchess; the crook is then forced to hide out with a blind recluse. Mildly diverting B-movie directed by Joseph Losey, then resident in Britain after the McCarthy witch-hunts.
