Maurice Ronet is the usual victim of the perversive Alain Delon. This happened in "A plein Soleil" film (first version of Mr. Ripley) and it happens again in this film. Teenagers like to flirt with different partners, and this is seen in this film, but the fact is that Delon, Ronet and Rommy Schneider are young but not teenagers. A latino macho will never accept the behavior of Rommy Schneider, and will react in the same way as Delon did. Probably the director wanted to mix different feelings to prepare the scene for murdering Ronet once again. Nice to see the beautifulness of Rommy Schneider, all the way wonderful, desirable, simply too sexy. The daughter of Ronet in the film is not so attractive to compete with Schneider, so this was one minus against the director of the film.
