It is always a great pleasure to see the excellent, charming, great actor Michel Bouquet. Unfortunately, he does not have a main role, he appears very little. But as much as it appears, it's more than effective. The main role is Bruno Cremer, another sacred monster, very natural, as in all the films I've seen him in, here in the skin of a journalist caught between two political forces, pursued, chased. Other good actors are gathered in this film, also smaller but equally excellent roles, Donald Pleasance, Gabriele Ferzetti, Dennis Hopper, Joseph Cotten. The revelation of the film is the life partner of the director Claude D'Anna, the beautiful Marie-France Bonin alias Laure Dechasnel. Co-author of the script and dialogues with Claude D'Anna, Marie-France Bonin in the role of Hélène Lehman creates the most believable and convincing character, that of the woman who falls completely innocent victim, she enters the whole story absolutely by mistake. It's a thriller, a bit static, not at all alert, but worth seeing. The best scene is the final one, in which Hélène is stabbed in the train station and then lies dead on the platform with a blood stain on her chest, which can be seen through a newspaper placed on her body by a passerby.
