Max et les Ferrailleurs

Max et les Ferrailleurs is a 1971 French-Italian crime drama directed by Claude Sautet, adapted from Claude Néron's novel of the same name. Sautet co-wrote the screenplay with Jean-Loup Dabadie. Michel Piccoli and Romy Schneider headline the cast, with François Périer and Georges Wilson appearing in supporting parts, alongside performers such as Boby Lapointe, Bernard Fresson, Dominique Zardi and Betty Beckers. The score was composed by Philippe Sarde, and the film was produced by Fida Cinematografica. Running about 102 minutes, it stands as a notable entry in the French crime cinema of the early 1970s and is regarded as one of Sautet's defining works of that period.
