Victor,Sorry, if you mean the 60's Marais film in which he plays a double role of criminal mastermind and journalist, I have only heard about it. I went through an overly-long Bergman, Murnau, Eisenstein, Truffaut, Fellini, and Bunuel phase since becoming interested in foreign film and have never caught up.
It's certainly intriuging since Fantomas is said to be more "American" in it's action and dynamics but still psychologically French.
Do you recommend it?
Cheers,

Fantomas was incredible for us as teenagers growing up in the communist Russia. It was obviously just a silly spoof, but it provided so much material we were all so hungry for! All that Western life, beautiful men and women.... women.... you can say that again, Patrick!... we all had hots for Lady Beltham... those sleek cars and Jean's suits - man, that was LIFE!To a sophisticated adult it would most likely look just toooo silly, but when you are 13 - it's a different story.
For many years Fantomas was the most famous movie character in Russia.
But I think it had its funny moments, so perhaps just out of curiocity if you come across that marvel, take a look.
And de Funes - he certainly had his VERY funny moments in the movies. What was the name of that movie, Patrick, where he played a charismatic poacher Blerot (?)? Some of his early movies were indeed fun to watch, even though leter his act became a bit tired.
After Bergman, Murnau, Eisenstein, Truffaut, Fellini , Fantomas will look quite different . Kind of James Bond from the 60s ,Jean Marais doing most of the stunts .Only goal was to entertain so don't expect a great scenario but still some action and fun . Louis de Funes plays in most of them.Last one from 1965 supposed to be the best . A un peu vieilli...
JFT,Interesting. I had heard that Marais is quite good as the shadowy Fantomas but as you say, the overall treatment is said to be a bit dated to the 60's action style.
Not "Diabolique".. but not even "Diabolique" was when remade.
Cheers,
