A couple of Parisian drug gangs (one led by a blind, philosophical, trumpet-playing boss) are battling over turf, leading to kidnappings, beatings, murders, betrayals and other intrigues. And this being a José Benazeraf film, there are timeouts for stolen lust, striptease and a great cat fight.
Paris opening: November 1963 as La drogue du vice; running time: 75 min. Alternative French title: Le concerto de la peur. Also known in the United States as Notte Erotique ; advertised as Night of Love .
