Synopsis:
Max (Michel Piccoli) has only one thing on his mind: putting away criminals. When yet another bunch of professional criminals gets away, he hatches a plan to trick a group of amateurs into committing a major crime, using his old friend Abel's (Bernard Fresson) girlfriend Lily (Romy Schneider) as unwitting bait.

Restoration:
Restored by Studiocanal and Beatrice Valbin-Constant, under the supervision of Claude Sautet
