appears to have been later reworked into John Wayne's "The Train Robbers" "Adieu l'ami" (also known as "Farewell, Friend" and "Honor Among Thieves") is a French film that stars Alain Delon and Charles Bronson. Both dubbed French language and English language versions of the film were released.
The movie begins with two soldiers in the Foreign Legion coming back from North Africa (Bronson and Delon). They don't particularly like each other and Bronson is a larcenous sort. Later, Delon is approached by a woman who has a ridiculous story--she claims she needs him to break into a safe to put some bonds BACK before they are discovered missing. Why he agrees to help her, I have no idea. Once inside, he meets Bronson--who has followed Delon because he thinks Delon is going to rob the place. However, BOTH get locked in the place and can't get out or get to the safe. When they finally do get out much later, they find a dead guard and some other person stole the money. I would have ended the film here, but it goes on for about 40 more minutes--leading to a bloody shootout.
All in all, a decent film but it seemed a bit rough in spots. I also didn't appreciate the macho histrionics when the pair got locked in together--their punching each other seemed pretty silly. A decent time-passer but that's all--thanks to a lackluster script.
