About Mr. Scrupule, Gangster
Mr. Scrupule is a mild-mannered smuggler operating on the coast of Nice. If it hadn't been for an unexpected encounter, he'd probably have gone on for a long time in a trade that earned him the esteem of the bourgeoisie. An attractive young woman, Rolande, leads him to new ambitions and soon to dangerous adventures where he risks losing his skin.
Directed by Jacques Daroy, Mr. Scrupule, Gangster leans on a strong ensemble — Tilda Thamar, Yves Vincent, Howard Vernon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1953.
