Docteur Justice (1975) - Christian-Jaque.

A handsome, Carnaby Street dapper, prodigiously athletic, fleet-fisted philanthropic doctor (John Phillip Law) courageously fights injustice with his stethoscope and enviable martial arts prowess! The fab cast does much to elevate this high voltaged, boisterously fight-packed globe-trotting Euro-actioner! Director Christian-Jaque keeps these kinetic, enjoyably camp, Fumetti-style high jinks moving at an agreeably brisk pace, boasting a daring, smartly orchestrated heist of 6 million dollars worth of oil, making this a must-see for Euro-crime addicts. One of the things I especially appreciate about 70s action films is that in many instances, the burly-looking tough guys frequently have wispy comb overs!!! This is, sadly, no longer the case, and action cinema is all the worse for it! John Phillip law's witty, suave, sleek-limbed Hippocratic hero is great fun, and he frequently proves more than a match for his duplicitously double-crossing foe! This flavoursome Gallic thriller finds Gert Frobe on charismatically avuncular form as cruel criminal mastermind Mr. Max, sparky Nathalie Delon provides some distractingly sensual eye candy, there's plentiful action, humorous interludes, and the picturesque travelogue locations are certainly no less charming than the good doctor's beaming smile! (Paul Naschy fans might care to note that he makes an all-too brief appearance as one of Mr. Max's rent-a-thugs)
