Synopsis

Alain Delon plays Mr. Klein, a French-Catholic art dealer who works as a school principal during the Nazi occupation. Strapped for cash, Klein takes financial advantage of his Jewish neighbors, knowing that they have no legal recourse. Ironically, Klein is himself mistaken for a missing Jew, a man who has been using Mr. Klein's name as a cover for his secret operations. As he desperately seeks out that man, he learns a bitter lesson about life in the other man's shoes. Star Delon is one of the four producers of this French feature. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review

A chilling portrayal of mistaken identity set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied France, French screen legend Alain Delon stars in director Joseph Losey's dark thriller, coming to DVD from Home Vision Entertainment. Presented in 1.66:1 anamorphic widescreen, this release offers audio in French Digital Stereo with optional English subtitles. Of course, Delon fans will be happy to see the inclusion of a selected filmography as an extra feature, and in addition to a filmography for director Losey, viewers can also access an original U.S. theatrical trailer and read liner notes by film critic and cinema studies professor Edwin Jahiel. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
