À couteaux tirés (1964)
Film Synopsis
A nightclub owner enlists the help of a one-time officer in the German navy and an American gangster in recovering a fabulous lost Nazi treasure that could make them all rich beyond their wildest dreams. The treasure consists of two hundred valuable diamonds worth a small fortune and a stack of confidential documents revealing the identity of several prominent Nazi supporters. These are all contained within a chest that was dumped in the sea off the coast of Monte Carlo towards the end of the Second World War. The treasure hunters succeed in finding this fantastic haul but they all die in mysterious circumstances not long afterwards. The police inspector charged with investigating the murders soon uncovers a fiendish plot. To capture the culprits, he comes up with an equally devious plan...© James Travers
