Blu-ray Review Borsalino (Limited Edition) – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

Let’s take a look at Borsalino. Though his work and career largely fell outside the French New Wave movement of the era, director Jacques Deray made his name in the crime and thriller genre. Though he made his debut with Le Gigolo in 1960, Deray truly made a name for himself with La Piscine (1969), a psychological thriller; the next year, Deray would achieve international recognition for Borsalino, which reunited the director with past collaborators Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo. Arrow Video has licensed the film from Paramount Pictures for its Blu-ray debut.

Thank you for this review! The film was a new discovery for me and maybe this will help it be discovered by others. If you like The Sting or Butch Cassidy you should enjoy this similar film with a French twist. It was released between the 2 American "buddy" films and definitely influenced The Sting which followed 3 years later.

I saw this film by the time it had made its way to the Jersey suburbs in the early 70s. The theater was full and this was before it was turned into a quad so I had thought the film was a success here.
