Murder International: The Samurai

on BBC Two England

The feature film starring Alain Delon, Nathalie Delon

Jeff Costello kills people - for money. As a hired assassin he is considered the best, until one contract misfires and he is seen by a hat-check girl in a night club. From then on his 'employers' want him dead, and Jeff learns what it is like to be hunted, not the hunter.
This classic thriller by veteran French director Jean-Pierre Melville is being shown for the first time in its original length, in an English-language version.
