Trivia

The picture that Burt Reynolds and French actress Catherine Deneuve got to see was the French film A Man and a Woman. 'Time Out' called this movie a "Remarkable contemporary film noir . . . Aldrich provides Reynolds and Deneuve with the ultimate tinsel role model of Lelouch's A Man and a Woman." Deneuve at the time that this movie was made had not worked with Claude Lelouch, the director of that French film. However, the two soon got to work together after this film on Second Chance and later again on Us Two. See more »

Great, underrated film noir, expertly written, master class of the genre. Begs to be rediscovered. If you are a purist of noir, then this is a gift to you, courtesy of Aldrich. There is so much more to Burt Reynolds than people give him credit, and he proves it here. I may be alone in this, but i got the impression the film was lit for black and white and comes off badly in colour - the contrast is too extreme, and ultimately works against the film. Curiously, when i tuned it to b/w it looked incredible - as moody and mean as Aldrich would would have intended. And Deneuve isn't as bad as the critics made out. if you love noir and have a problem with this film, i can't begin to understand why.
