 | | Gabin plays a prosperous restauranteur in Les Halles who quickly discovers who is "deadlier than the male" when a young woman claiming to be the daughter of his ex-wife lands, cherubic and destitute, on his doorstep. |
 | | Gabin’s brasserie soon seems to be crawling with gold-diggers and vipers: the angel-faced intruder turns out to be a psychotic liar and quite possibly homicidal, and Gabin’s possessive mother and spiteful housekeeper are not spared from the director’s baleful appraisal of the female sex. |
 | | Reeking with local atmosphere, soused on noir misogyny, DEADLIER THAN THE MALE features a great performance by Gabin, plenty of cuisine scenes, and a bleak vision of the human beast — especially the "distaff half." "Noir, très noir" (Pacific Film Archive). |
