'Le Samouraï': Details over death . . .
Posted by Billy Wonka on February 4, 2026 at 11:41:25:
This film seems to be the most revered of Alain Delon's career. He has almost no dialogue but takes us through the details of preparing an alibi, making a hit, and escaping the clutches of the police by cleverness and a tattle-tale bird.
This is one of the first films that shows the mechanics of a crime and how the police handle it. François Périer shone as the intelligent and calculating chief inspector determined to capture Delon.
Released in 1967, I noted two brand-new Chevy Camaros in street scenes. One was driven by the pianist. Imagine the fuel cost to drive American pig iron in Paris.
SPOIL ZONE
I have a question. I never understood why the pianist aided and abetted Delon. Even more so, why she was the last target? Anyone recall what your impressions were of the motives?
