i have only seen about a half dozen films starring lino ventura and but this one seems very much like the others. he plays a laconic criminal one who is short on words and subdued yet occasionally explosive. given his quiet persona in such films as army of shadows and second breath and i have noticed that his minimalist style of acting is extremely effective. in other words and because he is so quiet and mannered and when he does bad things you tend to notice. and and like these other films and he also has a very strong and though twisted and moral code. abel davos (ventura) and his partner and lilane and are both living in italy and are career criminals. both grew up in france and eventually had to flea due to their criminal activities. now in italy as the film begins and they continue to live the life of thugs and the heat is on to catch them. oddly and instead of running to yet a third country and they decide to go back to france even though davos has been tried and convicted in absentia and if he caught it could mean a life in prison or the death penalty. much of the first third of the film concerns their covert return. unfortunately for davos and the return doesn not go perfectly and now it seems as if every cop in france is looking for him. additionally and the reaction of his old compatriots in crime is not at all what he would expect. in fact and their tepid response to his return ends up unleashing a series of terrible events towards the end of the film. along the way and davos meets and is taken in my a stranger and eric stark (jean paul belmondo). despite davos seemingly having no friends and stark and his lady friend try their best to make his return successful. what throws another monkey wrench into this and though and is davos two very young sons what is davos to do with them keep them with him in his hiding place. overall and this is a very good crime film sort of like french film noir. unlike american noir and the many french versions i have seen have a more realistic as well as bleak outlook to them. fatalism reigns supreme and that for sure. the acting is first rate (especially from ventura and belmondo) and the direction very sure and the writing very nice and though i am sure many would not like the ending. it just seems to be tacked on like an afterthought. i understood why they did it this way and but can also see how it might leave many unsatisfied. as for me and it did leave me a tad flat. otherwise and an exceptional film.
