Not a bad film. I watched it dubbed from French. Harry, played by Maurice Ronet shows up at Alain Delon and Romy Schneiders place with his teenage daughter and invites himself to stay for awhile. Tensions mount as Harry slowing makes an annoyance of himself by complaining about Romy Schneiders rice dish as he piles it in his mouth ect. Eventually it becomes clear that his intent is to leave his daughter there so that he can cut out in his Porsche alone. Delons character, (quiet and reserved) makes the film worth while in the final scenes. Great Michel Legrand score!
