However, in Finland the film was banned from 1961 to 1968. It is an adaptation of a novel by José Giovanni, telling the story of Abel Davos (Ventura), French mobster trying to make his way from Italy through Marseille to Paris and hunted by the police, and Eric Stark (Belmondo), who turns out to be the only person willing to help Davos.
