Hello, you film-loving people.

Melville himself didn´t like the film. When it was finished he showed only this clip above to people. The rest, he thought, was a failure. I disagree strongly.

Couple of years ago I met Roy Nuigera(name wrongly spelled) (R.N. wrote "Cinema of the night", a long interview with J.P.M.) and I told him, what I think about Un Flic. He was completly "d´accord".

I also think "Heat" is in many ways a hommage to "Un Flic". What do you think?

The last movie of a master!! I love this movie! Love the start with the rain!! But my favourite scene is richard crenna getting in the train from the helicopter!! Complete silence!!! Just love that scene!!! Melville was a genius!!! One of my favourite directors of all time!!!

Alain Delon a souvent joué les voyous. Ici, en flic intègre, il est parfait.

D'ailleurs il sait tout faire. Un hommage également à Jean-Pierre Melville.

Merci à eux.

@DidloDurante Good reply. Is Boisset's "Un Conde" available with English subtitles? I'd love to see it as it seems worth seeing on your recommendation. I nust get the new Blu-Ray of "Le Cercle" as my American friends tell me that the picture quality is amazing, far better than all previous DVDs. Have you seen "Magnet of Doom"?

[DidloDurante]

@GordonMorrice I think it was intentional. There is also an obviously false street backdrop in "Un Flic".

Un Flic has its strengths, but had it not been made by Melville, I doubt it would be known. Yves Boisset's 1970 film "Un Conde" ( title also meaning "A Cop" ) is not widely known, yet it is in many respects a superior film to Melville's much praised "Le Cercle Rouge" & is certainly FAR better than "Un Flic".

Un Flic is a tired film short on new ideas.

I love this film. I like the inter-personal dynamics of the love-triangle but also what we don't see. He excuses his actions for shooting Simon as fear of his commiting suicide. Obviously on his mind due to someting we don't see. Although we never see it, it is obvious that the poor transgender informant commits suicide and Coleman has, by this time realized that she was honest in her tip to him. It was a work of cinematic genius.

@Bobbinski1971 This is not my favorite Melville film, but the bank robbery and the heist on the train are amazing. Overall though it's not as tense as his other movies, and has that particular Melville flaw of being hard to follow (this one moreso than some of his other films.)

I think you are right and that these great French actors and movies are Hollywood' source of inspiration for some today' successful movies, n'est pas?

I enjoyed parts of this movie. It has its great moments, and Alain Delon is always Alain Delon.

That Black 1966 Fury is in at least 3 French Movies - two with Alian Delon. I wonder how many more???

Terrific film. Crenna is good in whatever he's in (eg The Sand Pebbles & Body Heat). But the scenes with the model train and helicopter are comically amateurish, almost at a Plan 9 From Outer Space level.

Most productive, positive comment I've ever read on youtube.
