Short description

A former bank robber is released after 10 years in prison. He gets help from a social-worker, but gets harassed by an old cop from his past.

What's left behind the scenes

  • At the 77th minute of the film, when Germaine steps forward to testify, a microphone can be seen standing in front of the witness stand. However, after a cut, the microphone disappears and is no longer visible during the interrogation.
  • The film became part of a public campaign to abolish the death penalty in France. This campaign took place throughout the country in the 1970s. The film's director, José Giovanni (1923-2004), was himself sentenced to death in 1945, but the then-President of France commuted the sentence to 20 years of forced labor. After 11 years in prison, Giovanni was released and became a writer, screenwriter, and director. The death penalty was abolished in France in 1981.
