And Hope to Die

Fleeing into Montreal ahead of some vengeful crash victim relatives, pilot Tony Cardot (Jean-Louis Trintignant) has more hard luck when he witnesses a mob slaying. Dragged before the gangster (Robert Ryan) who ordered the hit, the fast-talking flyboy manages to ingratiate himself... and gets recruited to help on an ill-fated caper.
