The Story of a Cheat

Le roman d'un tricheur (Original Title)

Life story of a charming scoundrel, with little dialogue other than the star/director's witty narration. As a boy, only he survives a family tragedy when he's deprived of supper for stealing...concluding that dishonesty pays. Through years of dabbling in crime and amusing adventures, two women appear and reappear in his life, a dazzling blonde jewel thief...

EN: Look at this principality...made up of a city and a village. The country has no real name because...Monaco is the town's name...and Monte Carlo is the city's name. The town is ancient...the city is modern. The town is Monegasque,The city, cosmopolitan. Each foreigner says he feels perfectly at home. It's quite unique! You see Englishmen, Chinese, Cubans...Hindus, Negroes, Hungarians...Finns and Egyptians like elsewhere. The reason they're more at home here than elsewhere...is Monte Carlo has no Monegasques! It's not a foreign city but a city for foreigners.
