A must for fans of the suspense film, 5 August 2005
9/10
Author: Yann Saunders from Columbia, S. Carolina, USA

Despite the naysayers, I count "Les Felins" among my all-time favorites. Hey, we're talking of a thriller that was made over 40 years ago ! Lalo Schiffrin's introductory bass riff is as suspenseful as it is masterful.

The actors may not have been at their best in 1964 but IMHO they still did a helluva good job with the plot (French Riviera playboy Delon seduces Mob boss' wife; he tells his men, "Bring me back his head!"; Delon is forced into hiding and ends up a prisoner of the sexy ladies who help him escape the Mob.

I have not seen the English version but would like to get a copy of the French version with English subtitles.
