As far as I remember, this film is faithful to the James Hadley Chase's novel; a novelist whose stories were always about greed, greed, greed and involved mostly disgusting, ruthless, ready at anything characters to achieve their evil plans. Women were most of the time nastier than the males, femmes fatales oblige. The other trademark of Chase was, besides blackmail schemes the tight, breathtaking, suspense. Chase was one of the first page turner writer. So, don't spend time and energy to find any good guys here. George Geret is the perfect choice with this kind of cast; Belmondo, despite his talent, a bit less. We feel that here, he is doing his best not to play comedy.
