And starring the two most famous villains of the French industry from this period: Michel Constantin and Marcel Bozzuffi, the most iconic mobsters from French underground, and also an American iconic actor for gangster roles, the equivalent of Bozzuffi and Constantin: Henry Silva, who will stay in france for another French crime film: L'INSOLENT. This is a rough, tough, gritty, violent story, a gang war topic involving Corsicans, the French Sicilians. A vendetta story, moving, even a bit predictable, but a story about honor, revenge, freindship among virile men. A bloody tragedy. Real men. Not far from LA SCOUMOUNE, also starring Michel Constantin,and also concerning Corsicans. The director Daniel Vigne made a few films, and was not specialized in crime or mafia films. He was not Melville nor Jacques Deray, but his directing skills are impressive. A great French crime film from the seventies.
