'Le Samouraï': Details over death . . .

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

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?
