Fantomas Contre Scotland Yard (aka Fantomas Vs. Scotland Yard) (1967)

The master criminal known as Fantomas (Jean Marais) imposes a life tax on the rich and threatens to execute them if they don't pay up. A journalist (Jean Marais), his photographer girlfriend (Mylene Demongeot) and a police commissioner (Luis De Funes) travel to Scotland to investigate. Directed by Andre Hunebelle, this was the third and final entry in the Fantomas trilogy starring Marais, De Funes and Demongeot. I liked it better than the previous effort FANTOMAS UNLEASHED. Humor takes centerstage and it's rather silly but fun like an Abbott & Costello movie. De Funes, who tended to irritate me in the two previous films, and Jacques Dynam as his assistant make a fine comedy duo. Although it's supposed to take place in Scotland, the "haunted" castle is actually in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region in Southwest France. If you liked the first two installments, then you'll definitely find some favor for this one. With Francoise Christophe, Jean Roger Caussimon and Andre Dumas.
