In this French police thriller, Le Guen (Jean Gabin) is an old-style police inspector, near retirement. When Gassot (Fabio Testi) escapes from the mental institute for the criminally insane, Le Guen is the best man to track him down. After all, he put him away years before. Gassot leaves behind a string of corpses and takes up with a prostitute while Le Guen chases him. Gerard Depardieu makes one of his first screen appearances here, in a small part. (imdb)

The principal interest of this film is the last face-to-face Jean Gabin - Bernard Blier, and one of the first appearances of Gérard Depardieu.

It's OK but certainly not the masterpiece you'd expect given the cast. It's pacing is methodical but that makes it seem slow. I've seen this brand of "methodical" before and it can make a cracker but for some reason not here. The hookup with the "girlfrend" is too pat and the old policing V the new way of doing things conflict is stale. Well acted. OK police procedural, but...
