stuck-in-their-ways old gang bosses and begin organizing the wide-open city’s crime rackets. Dubbed-in-English version.
ONCE A THIEF (LES TUEURS DE SAN FRANCISCO), 1965, Warner Bros., 107 min. Dir. Ralph Nelson. Ex-con Alain Delon is living in San Francisco with his wife (Ann-Margret) and daughter, just trying to keep his nose clean. Someone holds up a liquor store driving his hot rod, and he’s pulled inexorably back down into the gutter. Delon’s master hood big brother (Jack Palance) is back in town with his gang, including sociopaths Tony Musante and John Davis Chandler, and Palance will do anything to bring his younger sibling back into the murderous fold.
