UW Cinematheque - Jean-Pierre Melville Crime Film Masterworks

Alain Delon stars as a detective hunting down a gang of bank robbers led by a nightclub owning acquaintance (played by Rambo mentor Crenna). Tension mounts as the men circle each other and the woman they both love, showgirl Deneuve. Melville’s final film is as cool and taut as ever, bookended by two extended heist sequences that rank among the best of his career.
