Synopsis:
Having left behind his life as a gifted concert pianist, Charlie (Charles Aznavour) sees out his downcast days tinkling the ivories in a dingy Parisian jazz bar. One day his brother Chico (Albert Rémy) arrives, searching for sanctuary from a gang of crooks that he's double-crossed. Charlie offers to help but soon finds his murky past catching up with him and before long is embroiled in an affair that he can no longer control.

So very French! - Shoot the Pianist review by SoniaGee

Spoiler Alert

An offbeat film, featuring Charles Aznavour. I watched it twice, (better than tv....)

It may--or may not be to your taste, but being a francophile...........
