I saw this on BBC I-player
This is very much off it's time. Racial slurs abound. The docker's union have to be paid off. When we see Marsielles it is a city of steps, and handcarts. You notice the cars are brightly coloured. Men wear suits. It is still cold. The Nightclub has a song about going to the moon. The club has a live band rather then electronic music
The chase scene on the overpass is legendary.
It is interesting to see Marseilles, a city which I am not familar with. The French villian has a much younger mistress, he angles off his house
I did like Popeye
This seems to have created a lot of tropes. The upper class junkie, the undercover black police officer
The chases. Lots and lot of foot chases...
