I don't remember Gilbert Gil in any particular character except in "Le Mannequin Assassiné" in which he was quite dull, like in this "Brigade Criminelle" he directed in a dull manner, listen to the musical score not fitting at all with the movie. The actors are not very good, there are some violent scenes and an ok final car chase on a speedway. Easy to forget.

Gilbert Gil is mainly known as an actor ,notably in memorable movies such as "Pepe Le Moko" (Pierrot) and Valentin's "L'Entraineuse ".That was his first attempt at directing and ,given the results ,it's a blessing he did not carry on with the task.
"Brigade Criminelle " belongs to the cloak and dagger genre: it deals with stolen plans ,with a lot of male and female spies it's hard to identify (I dare you to guess whom they are in the pay of );The screenplay is a mess, a jumble ,and as hard to decipher as the agents' secret messages.
