60 thousand with food and accommodation, will you? The film directed by Denis de La Patellier “Turn the doorknob”, based on the novel by James Hadley Chase “Everything has its price”.
As for me, Chase's book is cooler, the film seems to be deeper, at least the director, tried to dig, tried to justify, tried to draw his conclusions. Whether it was possible to decide the viewer, that is, you reading this review, I in turn recommend to start with the book, /exclusively for a more complete impression /.
But let's get to the story. As usual in Chase, a young man, a typical loser, his name is Robert Montillon, loitering around, and fate brings him to a banker, also a loser, but a rich loser. And once again the story unfolds, man - money, not even money, big money.
And as always, Chase will have love and a reckoning. And the victory will be common sense, then chance, then justice. And it is clear who will win and who will remain fools, and you understand that this does not happen in life. Or maybe it does, and why not.
I deliberately do not talk about what happened, whether it does not matter who killed whom or wanted to kill, all the heroes stand one another. I'm talking about what moves the hidden springs. The springs that move our lives. I say ours because we all give in more or less to temptations, and we all genuinely fall in love, and we all gnaw at our conscience when things go wrong. And this does not happen, because it is possible to live beautifully only with a certain amount of money in your pocket. For some reason we think that our happiness is also in the category of this beauty.
But, as Chase said, everything comes at a price. It doesn't matter if you guessed it or you were wrong. You have to pay for everything. Either you get paid 60,000 with food and accommodation, or you pay for the chance to become a millionaire, but much more, pay for everything you have. Because fate can not be deceived, this fate can deceive, but no, necessarily deceive.
The film is indicative of the fact that it is almost the debut of Michel Mercier, the future Angelica, (according to the filmography, this is her second film). It does not hurt to note that the beautiful Angelica in this film, Michelle Mercier is not very similar. Quite unexpectedly looks her lush forms, and this is despite the fact that while we know she was engaged in ballet. By the way, Michelle is actually not Michelle at all, but Jocelyn. It’s an interesting story about Jocelyn becoming Michelle.
In the lead role in this film played by Michelle Morgan, So, for the harmony of Jocelyn Mercier was Michelle, as well as Michelle Morgan, / and, like Michelle Morgan, the abbreviation of her name became M. M. /. However, the acronym Michel Mercier never used.
