    I can't help think that Glenn Ford was just the wrong man for the part here. He portrays "Mike" - a GI who returns to France after WWII to track down an artefact that he encountered at the end of the war - one that could reverse his rather meagre financial fortunes. When in Paris a corpse is found in his hotel room so he must flee the pursuing gendarmes and others on the look out for the eponymous, gem-laden, gauntlet. Luckily, he is helped by local tour guide "Christine" (Geraldine Brooks) and our adventure takes him deep into the French countryside. The story is quite good, but the execution ...
