'Jeff' is a 1969 French-Italian crime film financed by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. Starring Alain Delon and Mireille Darc, it tells the story of a gang of thieves who fall out after a robbery and start killing each other off.

Plot



In Paris, a gang rob a diamond merchant after abducting his wife and killing his chauffeur. The loot is given to Jeff, their leader, who will take it to a fence in Antwerp and then return to share out the cash proceeds. But he never returns. All of the gang believe he has cheated them, apart from Laurent who still trusts his leader. They leave one member to guard Laurent and go to Jeff's apartment, where they torture his mistress Eva.

Laurent kills his guard, rescues Eva, and sets off with her to Antwerp. There they find the fence, who says Jeff has the money. The other members find the fence, kill him, and abduct his wife, who they force to tell Eva that Jeff has cheated everybody. Laurent meanwhile has found Jeff's hideaway and kills him. Going to meet Eva, who spent the previous night with him, he finds she has been abducted by a gang member who guns him down.
