Although proposals too pretentious and rather disjointed for their continuous breaks script, the plot of "Adieu, poulet" is always followed with interest.
The best thing about the film is its final resolution, including also the two words of the title and the interpretations, both of Lino Ventura always impeccably understated as his assistant and counterpoint, the late Patrick Dewaere in a sympathetic role of police disbelieved . Neither detracts from the performance side as good Guiomar, Tornade, Brion or Lanoux.
