This film was inspired by the adventures of Tintin but with a hero interested in women. In particular one woman that he runs after to save during the film. A bit of Jules Vernes also since the director loved his stories as well.
This film has a story that holds well and the bouncing is well done. Many hilarious moments with the running gag of our hero running so fast and well always catch up with the bandits.
Amusing anecdote, The wife of the president of the time ran over the other movie to get JFK to come watch this hilarious film in a New-York theatre.
The stunts are incredible and Belmondo is gifted athletically and to stunts. Several stunts are really impressive of realism. This film was a great success and it was deserved. It was an inspiration for Indiana Jones which might explain why that film was described as Tintinesque. And consequently. Spielberg did a Tintin film.
