I think this annoying message on this particular sub is creating an error which pushes the keyboard out of the screen.

As delicate as a new born baby, I wasn't tempted to pull it cos I know it'll be a better and bigger potato in a month.

usually happens once or twice a week, I did wonder if it was a temporary thing corrected after a few days but nope. Presumably this 5-7 power usage is accounted for come the monthly bill.

Alain Delon and director Jacques Deray teamed up frequently in the 70s. This final collaboration (?) is about par for the course. Serviceable crime drama as an innocent passer-by becomes the target of an dodgy industrialist having intervened in the aftermath of an apparent road accident.

There's not a huge amount beyond that outline in story terms. For me the enjoyment comes from the now vintage sights and sounds. Citroens and Lancia cars feature heavily. Speaking of which there's a typically nifty chase on open roads through Paris staged by the Godfather of such sequences Rémy Julienne with cars going toe to toe on an autoroute and the camera in up close.

Those who don't know Delon's oeuvre might be shocked by the denouement and its staging but otherwise you'll probably be expecting it! It became something of a running joke with France's Paul Newman* dying in about a third of his films. Definitely not Hollywood.

*Jean Paul Belmondo probably thought he was! Though both are more akin to Lee Marvin crossed with Charles Bronson given their penchant for thick ear shoot 'em ups.
