A Giovanni's flag against the evil death penalty by Guillotine on France!!!
11 May 2020
Based in own life experience on dead row of the director José Giovanni takes to screen for Alain Delon as co-producer, the role of friendly Germaine Cazeneuve will be to Lino Ventura who turned down, then asking for Yves Montand who indirectly said no, they had re-written the screenplay to fit an old men like Jean Gabin who play Germaine a social worker that tries socialize some prisoners using his own sharpened instinct gathered for a long time, he struggles for a parole to Gino Strabliggi (Alain Delon) two years before the judgment given of twelve years, after on street already working he lost your girlfriend on car's accident, moved to Montpelier he starts again always escorted by Germaine, when faces Inspector Goitreau (Michel Bouquet) a man who arrested him for first time, for now on the rigid Inspector will turn his life in a hell, letting Gino to nervous breakdown and killing him with own hands, in jail later after an exhaustive trial was sentenced for a death penalty at Guillotine, state by many as Les Miserable alike but it wasn't to me at all, it was Giavanni statement against death penalty on France, which will be swept on 1981, strangely Alain Delon making this picture was totally agreed with death penalty!!
