Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Víctor Merenda directed over 40 films you've never heard of; this is considered one of his 'better' ones. Make of that what you will.
Part of Spain's 1960s 'españolada' noir boom — cheap co-productions made to look French or Italian for export. The fake Frenchness of 'Jean Farand' is the entire aesthetic.
