' toi de faire... mignonne' , released in the US as 'Your Turn, Darling', is a French-Italian thriller film based on the 1941 novel 'Your Deal, My Lovely' by Peter Cheyney. It came out ten years after 'La mme vert-de-gris' which had been the first of film of this series.
It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris and on location around the city. The film's sets were designed by the art director Ren Moulaert.
For the last time Bernard Borderie directed the popular actor Eddie Constantine in a Lemmy Caution adventure.
Guy Delorme, who in 1961 had been the Comte de Rochefort in Borderie's classic film version of 'The Three Musketeers', acts another time as a scheming bad guy.
Synopsis
Dr. Whitaker has disappeared after working hard on an innovation which could give either the West or the East an edge in the Cold War. Lemmy Caution, although currently otherwise busy, is assigned to return the scientist.
He is advised to start searching for him by finding in the first place Dr. Whitaker's attractive young fiance Geraldine.
Of course Lemmy Caution finds the scientist, beats up the villains even while actually being hopelessly outnumbered, puts everything right and gets the girl.
