Fast paced and unusual thriller about an assassin tracking down the witness - a cab driver - for the murder of his unfaithful wife.
It takes place in Paris by night. It is unusual because the hero - the leading character, Lino Ventura - is the villain. The only bad guy character of his entire career. It is really a tragic story with a splendid climax. A grade B movie but very effective. I don't think American producers know this picture, because there would be enough material to shot a "remake".
It reminds me, in a different scale, the Terminator. The cab driver would be the character played by Michael Biehn, or Jamie Fox confronted with Tom Cruise in "Collateral".
