Alain Delon no doubt had the grosses of Bonnie in Clyde and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid very much in mind when he made this bromance depression era gangster flick which provides a great team starring duo for himself and Jean-Paul Belmondo. They play two gangsters in Marseilles who meet by fighting over a woman - but eventually decide its bros before hos and go into business together, running the whole town and creating enemies.
No one else really gets a look in during the film, except for maybe the costume and production designers. There's a lot of male love, and the stars looking natty and being great mates. Plenty of action too - it's an enjoyable movie, with the lead actors perfectly cast. Belmondo is a better tough guy than Delon, no matter how many real life gangster contacts the latter had.
