...been winning games by hook and by crook," coach Loyal Park said. "I have to come right out and admit we're not hitting. We've built a 13-2 record on bunting, stealing, hit-and-run, and taking advantage of errors. That can't go on forever.

Cradled in the crook of his arm or clutched tightly in his palm, the camera is his constant companion. At any instant, any place, Henri Cartier-Bresson may suddenly lift his battered Leica to eye level, click the shutter and return instantly to whatever he was doing before what he calls "the decisive moment." Capturing such moments-usually joy, sadness, love, a memory reflected in a face or posture-has been Cartier-Bresson's life and profession for more than three decades.

Siffredi (Alain Delon) is a petty crook, all bile and brilliantine, who goes looking for his girl friend Lola (Catherine Rouvel) after his latest prison term has expired. Stalking the streets of Marseille, he finally finds her happily biding her time with a nattily tailored sharpie named Capella (Jean-Paul Belmondo). Siffredi immediately initiates repossession proceedings. Capella only grins. Siffredi glowers. Capella still grins. Then, of course, they fight. After knocking each other around for a while, over pool tables, into mirrors, across bars, that sort...
