Elliot Gould, whom I usually detest for his New York sarcasm, actually played this role quite well.
The film is partially in French which will irritate the ordinary American. I speak French. This should be taken as a European film.
Here Gould is a private detective and a birder. (I confess to my having observed 367 different species).
The detective is hired to tail a crooked business executive. The other business executives who got burned badly by the crook when to have him assassinated. The crook says goodbye to his wife.
The tension is subtle but it builds. Gould meets with the crook's mistress. She recounts her history with the crook. The crook tells a girl he met in the park that Gould hid him from the Nazis in France. Now Gould does not recognize him.
Do the assassins complete their task ? Watch the film.
