Not highly acclaimed critically and probably could have been done in colour but I liked it. It was an MGM shot in French in France with French stars but also two American stars.
Alain Delon is perfectly cast as the lover of a gangster's wife who just escapes said gangster's hoons and winds up seeking refuge in the house of wealthy Lola Albright and her niece Jane Fonda. Albright has a lover shoved in the attic years before Parasite.
Fonda is seriously hot in this movie - she's beautifully shot and is alive and full of energy. The role might have been more effective if played by someone more plain - who would want control over Delon. I mean seriously how hard is it for Fonda to trap Delon?
Delon was peak pretty at this stage too which suits the role and Lola Albright isn't too shabby either. They have some hot sex. Gangsters come after her.
They could have done more with the cuckolded gangster and the lover in the attic but it was sexy and atmospheric, beautifully shot, with a Lalo Schifrin score. It got hostile views I don't know why.
