In the 18th century, Louis de Bourguignon is working with the Malichot's gang, but their ways are too 'unethical' for him. He creates his own band, acting under the name of Cartouche, making audacious robberies of the rich people, and even distributing the takings with the poor. Thus, cartouche attracts the people's sympathies, Venus's love, and hate from the Police and Malichot... Cartouche can escape all the traps they set at him - except the entrapments of love. Eventually, he will be saved by a woman, at her own cost.

Decent enough French swashbuckler adventure movie and while I liked the performance from Jean-Paul Belmondo, his character came off as a jack-ass, especially at the end, as he pursues the king's wife despite having a gorgeous wife, named Venus no less. I don't know, his actions left a sour taste. On the plus side, Claudia Cardinale was wonderful (and looking at her IMDb still steadily working) and the fight sequences for the most part were entertaining. **3.0/5**
