...enviable store of vigor. At 59, he is a little paunchier, a little slower, and he breathes harder on the run; but he can still haul himself up a scaffolding with the best. Director Winner sends him pounding around a construction site in Vienna, pursued by Alain Delon, who means to kill him on behalf of the CIA. Lancaster leads Delon and an accomplice a hectic chase through tunnels, up steel girders, across gangways.

The hat, unfortunately, looks like a felt pie pan, and Delon moves mechanically through the action. Melville means to pay sober hom age to all the Hollywood films that did all this but better.
