Considered Sacha Guitry's masterpiece, this fleet, witty picaresque about a gambler and petty thief is a whimsical delight. Guitry himself stars as the "tricheur" looking back fondly on a life of crime, which he narrates with an effervescence matched by his clever editing and cinematography. (official distributor synopsis)
