This is good adaptation of 87th precinct book by Ed McBain, directed by Claude Chabrol. Plot revolves about killing of some teenager girl. Donald Sutherland gives great performance as lead detective, and David Hammings plays short but effective role. There is also Donald Pleasence as first suspect. Movie is beautifully shot and somehow manages to evoke spirit of Ed McBain police procedurals.
