    This was such a gem. The inspector is a petite, modest superwoman who does everything in heels – she’s almost too good for the professor. The cops flock after her, their trenchcoats flapping like wings. It was swift and exciting – the crowd scenes were handled so gracefully. Plus, we had some of the most creative driving I’ve ever seen. I expecially loved the chase scene, where the getaway car driver can’t get it out of second gear, and a phalanx of cops are puttering slowly after. Thanks for this!
