Alain Delon and Ann-Margret are a sexy couple living in San Francisco. He's a reformed thief working on the docks. One day he is framed for murder and arrested by diligent police officer Van Heflin. He is released due to lack of evidence. However he loses his job and is turned down for unemployment. In steps his long lost brother Jack Palance who offers him a piece of a million dollar platinum heist. The job goes off without a hitch, until the split when one of the other henchmen decides he wants it all. Character actor John Davis Chandler is brilliant as the sleepy-eyed thug. An overlooked and under appreciated gem that is well-written, well-acted and has a cool jazz soundtrack.
