In the first part I couldn't help but think of "l'Emmerdeur". Ventura is saddled with a nuisance again, but in the end it goes in the direction of crime with a scenario that is not so accessible.
Anyway, Ventura shows his talent in at least one scene where he gets angry, but even more remarkable than that: when he's in the circus he laughs like I've never seen him laugh before.
Unfortunately, there is nothing more than these little spiciness in number 125...

The character of yet another excellent Ventura is quite a hothead but also
with the heart in the right place.
His helpfulness goes far, but it is also his inflammable character
which leads him into what you might call a pitfall.
The man doesn't know what he has suddenly gotten himself into, especially with a lot of fire
in Ventura's game.
And the film actually turns out to be a mysterious crime thriller.
Both in terms of narrative with a nice tight pace and visually there is little to complain about,
while the acting is certainly satisfactory in general.
This film is a bit exciting, but mostly entertaining...

Not the best with Ventura but an entertaining crime story in which Pascal, a newspaper seller, saves a man from the Seine. Where that all leads I will not reveal but it was nice. Ventura is again a pleasure to watch play, although his character is often cut from the same cloth throughout many of his films. This film was not really known to me but was certainly not bad.
