Industrialist Jacques Batkin (Alain Delon) was shattered when his under-the-influence teenage son (Louis Julien) accidentally killed a cop, and vowed to spare no capital in obtaining leniency for the boy. He was very close in swaying the courts, the public, and even the victim's family toward his stand-but after the press uncovered the criminal transgressions in his past, he'd take a stunning tack. Intense effort co-scripted by Delon co-stars Carla Gravina, Dora Doll. 100 min. Widescreen; In French with English subtitles.
