吳宇森《縱橫四海》的原型。阿倫狄龍今趟「改邪歸正」,首次飾演執法者警探高文,為了搗破毒品交易,查案至海邊一個寧靜小鎮,邂逅上美豔的嘉菲(嘉芙蓮丹露)。可惜俊男美女的故事並不是快樂的保證,因為美人兒原來是販賣頭子兼老友的情婦。兩位好友一黑一白,愛上同一個女人,面對友情和愛情,該如何抉擇?梅維爾的簡約主義在本片盡情發揮,精要的對白、短促的場景、極少量的配樂,甚至連阿倫狄龍的演出也比其他電影更為內歛。開首一場械劫案,冷冽得來逼力甚強,借風借雨,營造氣氛,場面調度之精緻,絕非一般的類型片所及。梅維爾在影片拍攝期間已經抱恙,本片也成為導演的最終回。

In this last film by director Melville, who was already ill while making the film, Alain Delon plays, for this first time, a law-enforcer rather than a law-breaker. On an effort to stop a drug deal, police commissioner Coleman (Delon) ends up in a quiet seaside town where he meets the beautiful lady Cathy (Catherine Deneuve). Life does not become happily ever after, as Coleman later finds out that Cathy is actually mistress of his investigation's target. Jean-Pierre Melville's final project is an exercise in minimalism: minimum dialogues, short scenes, sparingly used music. Delon's performance is at his most restrained yet it does not lose its strength.
