Reception
[edit]Variety wrote "Though soberly recounted, this rarely gets to the core of the subject. Except for Raymond Pellegrin as the crazed driver, it is ordinarily acted. It goes in for some erotic byplay. Otherwise, it does not have the substance for art houses. Brigitte Bardot looks well but her acting does not equal her physical attributes. Direction, lensing and editing shape as only adequate with exterior settings lending some good production and documentary flavor."[2]
