有梅尔维尔主演，还有Smoky Jazz，你还要求什么。。。

In the 1950s, an apprentice pork butcher in Bourg-la-Reine leaves his job to go to Indochina. In this way, the young Alain Delon seeks to bring closure to a singular childhood, caught between feelings of abandonment and confinement. His parents divorced, he no longer saw his father and lived for a long time in Fresnes prison, where his nanny's husband was a guard. But his indiscipline led to his expulsion from the French Navy. Back in France, he frequented the Paris nightlife and underworld, which brought him into contact with the world of cinema, although the idea of becoming an actor never crossed his mind for a moment. It was by chance that he finally embarked on the career that made him a worldwide star.
