Cartouche is a 1962 French adventurer film directed by Philippe de Broca and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Claudia Cardinale.

[2] In the 18th century, Louis Dominique Bourguignon works with Malichot's gang, but finds their methods too unethical.

In mourning, Cartouche and his men place Venus's body in a stolen nobleman's carriage and sink it in a lake.

As the carriage slowly disappears beneath the surface, Cartouche orders his men to scatter, vowing to avenge Venus's death—a path he knows will likely lead him to the gallows.

The film sets were designed by François de Lamothe, and Rosine Delamare was responsible for the costumes.
