Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Once famed for its supposedly Pirandellian casting of Bell as a honky tonk temptress whose chiselled features remind hero Willm of the Parisian beauty (also played by Bell) he had joined the Foreign Legion precisely 'to forget'. Le Grand Jeu is short on directorial presence, but long on atmosphere: heat, sand, flies, cheap absinthe, and Rosay poring over greasy Tarot cards behind a rustling bead curtain.
