About This Item
The sociopathic schemes of Gallic pulp fiction's malicious master of disguise received a lighter treatment in these Bondesque actioners that starred Jean Marais as both Fantômas and his implacable nemesis, journalist Jerome Fandor; Louis de Funès as Surete inspector Juve; and Mylène Demongeot as Fandor's lady Hélène. In InchFantômasInch (1964), the arch-villain repays Fandor's meddling by kidnapping him and framing him for heinous deeds. InchFantômas UnchainedInch (1964) finds Fantômas abducting prominent scientists to build him a world-beating arsenal. Lastly, it's InchFantômas vs. Scotland YardInch (1967), as the mastermind decides it's time to tax the U.K.'s rich-and kill them if they reject his extortion. 5 1/3 hrs. On 2 discs. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English; audio commentary; theatrical trailers. Dubbed in English.
