action
Alain Revert is a beautiful, sought-after man. His mother was a prostitute and he prefers strange sexual practices. He likes it when his partners are drugged during the act of love. With his preferences, he drove his first wife to suicide. He visits prostitutes and also abuses his male friends like the beautiful dinosaur, with whom he has sex again and again because he gets tired of women. Shortly afterwards he marries the beautiful Nathalie. Inspector Leroy wants to prevent Revert from dragging Natalie into the abyss. But his hands are tied. His superiors show little interest in following Revert's actions.
criticism
"Melodramatic Colportage"
“Worth seeing:“ The last dance of the blond devil ”by Sergio Gobbi, based on a novel by Dominique Fabre, is a sultry psychodrama about a psychopath, played in a mannered manner by Helmut Berger, who drives his women to suicide through drug withdrawal. Gobbi's annoying slow-motion direction observes the characters no differently than the pinched inspector (Charles Aznavour) observes the white mice on which he demonstrates his theory of this crime. "
"Sergio Gobbi stages an upper-class drama in strong colors in which elegance and bad intentions are linked."
