फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
This movie is another example of the brilliant collaboration between the underrated Henri Verneuil ("Un singe en hiver", "100,000 dollars au soleil", "Peur sur la ville") and Belmondo. They share an honest love for such movie treats as car chases, evil bad guys, anti-heroes, slight eroticism, exotic food, humor and Bond-like misogyny. Which this movie contains galore. And it's also one of the first times when Belmondo performs his famous stunts, without any wires or stunt doubles. One scene in particular shows the "hero" being hidden in a dump-truck, which discharge its payload (including Belmondo) on a slope going down to a mine. You can actually see Belmondo stumble down the slope among debris and rocks and once down the slope stand up, dust off his trousers and walk away. In a single shot. Like Jackie Chan or Colt Seavers. And the movie contains a lot of great 70's milestones, like an almost silent intro showing the theft of the emeralds, or a spectacular car chase in the streets of Athens.
All in all, a very entertaining piece of 70's French cinema.
As a complete contrast, in this later version from Henri Verneuil, glitz replaces grit and Vahé Katcha's dialogue is infinitely more prosaic.
Verneuil and Jean-Paul Belmondo had made their first film together in 1962 and nine years later they are on their fourth. It is essentially a comic book treatment which enables its star to do what his legion of fans adore which is to perform well choreographed, daredevil stunts and beat people up whilst keeping his tongue firmly in his cheek. We also have an obligatory girlie show and a car chase that goes on and on and on.......
The most interesting feature here is the dynamic between Belmondo as the thief and Omar Sharif as the crooked cop. Sharif invests a nasty piece of work with his immense charm and his French is impeccable.
Although technically proficient, this mucho macho nonsense is now very much a period piece which has not dated well and reminds us that Verneuil was the most American of French directors. American cinema basically fulfills the need to be distracted and here Verneuil has delivered two hours of total distraction.

- ट्रिवियाJean-Paul Belmondo did most of his own stunts.
- गूफ़The car chase begins in a parking lot, where no cars are hit. But immediately after leaving the parking lot and taking to the streets, the red car shows signs of damage on the front and sides. So, some of the car chase scenes are shown out of sequence. Also, at the end of the chase there are differences in the damage to the front of the car from when it comes to a stop and in the last shot when a headlight falls off - most notably the bumper has become detached on one side.

Abel Zacharia: I chase petty crooks like you. I take all those risks for $300 a month. Don't you find that outrageous?
Azad: You have fringe benefits. You race around in your car. You sit at whatever table you want. You don't pay in restaurants. It all adds up.
