Quiet Man Wearing Bow Tie

Little Albert Gachot had only one modest ambition in life. That was to own his own men's accessories store. Finally settling in Marseille, France, his only chance to fulfill his dream is to borrow money from 'The Little Duck,' the local underworld chief. The two men become improbable friends until circumstances draw our poor bow tie man into a fateful trap. J.
