For its time, the film was obviously just a bomb! Now many parts of the film look naive! But how much a dramatic and adventurous movie is worth watching! The acting is decent, but you can put up with the rest and ignore it! )

@IL-2: What looks naive?As for me, the movie looks great now, from the end I'm just in shock, a minute before the end of the movie and such a twist
Very well shot.
And such a seemingly banal plot was presented in a fascinating and fictional way.

First, I saw the American remake of this movie, "The Sorcerer." It was also well shot, the essence is the same.
After learning that there was a French original, I was happy to watch it too.
