The Apple and the Chicken
Immediately after the two murders which Tom commits, he immediately and ravenously eats. He sits down and takes a vigorous and enourmous bite from an apple after killing Phillipe on the boat, and then, after cracking Freddie on the head, he goes directly into the kitchen and serves himself what looks to be a poached chicken, sits down and has dinner. I just loved watching Delon in these scenes. His reaction was the same immediately after each murder, cool and emotionally uninvolved and with no loss of appetite. I remember feeling the broad smile coming across my face during these two scenes when I saw this movie almost 50 years ago. Delon was chilling and amusing. Very French, no?
