Yeah, it's a crime drama at a beach town in France involving a kidnapping of Pamela Franklin's character. Marlon was 44 years old during shooting and never looked better physically -- trim and blond. Brando didn't start getting fat until the later-70s when he was well into his 50's. In other words, people need to quit envisioning Brando as some fat dude. Most men in their mid-40's would kill to look as good as he did at this age.

Coming from the mid-60s when realism was fashionable this crime thriller is more of a crime drama, but suspense slowly builds to a compelling final act, which shows that crime doesn't pay, but people are redeemable if they qualify. There's also an unexpected twist that was fresh at the time, but is now eye-rolling.
