Alain Delon as a politician is not bad; with his elegance, he convincingly looks the part. Julien Dandieu (Delon), an ambitious politician from PRU, wants to be the Minister of Social Affairs. In the past, Dandieu was in the opposition, so many see him like a traitor because he is about the join the government. Between his busy schedule, he falls in love with a young model, Creezy (Sydne Rome). Although he doesn't goes well with her friends, he keeps seeing her. Meanwhile, his friends warn him that if he wins the position, he has to give Creezy up.Even though Dandieu doesn't even have time for his wife, who is hospitalized after a mental breakdown, his son, and his mother (or he simply doesn't want to see them. If I don't want to meet someone I also can invent a thousand reasons); he tries to be with Creezy every time he can. She wants to see him more often and when he cancels their dates again and again, she runs out of patience and says it's over. Throughout the movie we see how he tries to contact her desperately. Dandieu finally realizes that he really loves her and doesn't want to lose her. Creezy agrees to give him one last chance, but suddenly he has to face a very difficult choice: to keep his promise to Creezy or to meet the Prime Minister who will give him his new post. Cannot she give him 30 minutes more?
The movie is not bad, but I like better Pierre Granier-Deferre's other work La Veuve Couderc. It's the editing, the flashbacks, which make me rather confused. The jazzy soundtrack is done by Philippe Sarde whose works in La Veuve Couderc and Deux hommes dans la ville I love so much.
