Alain Delon plays Mr. Klein, a French-Catholic art dealer during the Nazi occupation. Strapped for cash, Klein takes financial advantage of his Jewish neighbors, knowing that they have no legal recourse. Ironically, Klein is himself mistaken for a missing Jew, a man who has been using Mr. Klein's name as a cover for his secret operations. As he desperately seeks out that man, he learns a bitter lesson about life in the other man's shoes. Star Delon is one of the four producers of this French feature. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
I gave this one a really outstanding rating based on the intrigue, the political implications, the moral quandries of Nazi-occupied Paris, the lush photography , the twists of plot and superb acting. The last 15 minutes were a bit convoluted, however, and I had to consult some film sites to clarrify things a bit. Highly recommended!!
