I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Sick Product of a Sick System

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

April in Paris is a time for lovers , but for a ruthless drug baron called Jacques Brizard (James Mason) is the smuggling season and for the destructors it's the killing time . When a US intelligence agent , Steve Ventura (Anthony Quinn) , is unable to bring a heinous kingpin to justice , he resorts to hiring and is put in contact with a likable contract killer , John Deray (Michael Caine) , who results to be a former friend . These Three Great Protagonists Anthony Quinn , Michael Caine , James Mason Live the Sweet Life But They Play a Game of Sudden Death.Nice Paris-located crime drama with intrigue , suspense , thrills , car pursuits , twists and turns . The picture succeeds because of the thriller , tension , as well as an intelligent written script written by Judd Bernard delving into a twisted intrigue dealing how to chase an extreme villain . It packs an exceptionally fine camera work , attractive sequences and car crashes on the metropolitan streets , in Paris and Marseille . This thrilling picture mingles action-packed , drama , exciting pursuits , suspense , cross and double-crosses as well as spectacular sequences though won't mean much on little screen TV . Pulse-quickening thriller movie but plenty of clichés and lots of violence , shootouts and killings . Anthony Quinn is top-notch as US drug agent to stop a nasty kingpin , being helped by a hired killer who turns out to be an old friend . An animated Michael Caine stands out as the sympathetic assassin . And James Mason is perfect , as usual , as a drug lord who belongs to aristocracy of underworld . This excellent main cast is supported by an adequate support cast , such as : Maurice Ronet , Alexandra Stewart , Maureen Kerwin , Marcel Bozzuffi , Catherine Rouvel and the eternal secondary Vernon Dobtcheff . Colorful cinematography by Douglas Slocombe , shot on location in Gare d'Orsay, Grotte, Parc des Buttes-Chaumont , Paris , Cannes, Alpes-Maritimes, and Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, France . Stirring and lively musical score by Roy Budd . This film also released as "The Destructors" was professionally directed by Robert Parrish , though it has some flaws and gaps . Robert was an Academy Award-winning film editor who also realized and acted in movies . As an editor he won an Academy Award for Body and soul (1947), the 1947 Robert Rossen film that starred John Garfield as a money-grubbing, two-timing boxer on the make. Parrish also worked on All the King's Men (1949), an account of the rise and fall of a Louisiana politician that won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Parrish then moved on to direct films during the 1950s and 1960s . Among his best received works was the brooding western ¨Saddle the Wind¨ (1958) , a Noir film titled ¨Cry danger¨, a Sci-Fi picture titled ¨Journey to the far side of the sun¨, the wartime movie ¨Purple plain¨ that resulted to be one of the best films and other strange Western called ¨A town called Bastard¨ . And of course , this his final film , the exciting thriller titled ¨The Marseille Contract¨ .

I'll start by saying this is not a good film. This was probably good enough for audiences in the 1970s but it really creaks along today. The acting is often wooden. The cinematography makes poor use of the south of France location. James Mason makes no attempt to be play a French gangster and reverts to his usual film persona - he doesn't even bother with an accent. Antony Quinn is great though, particularly with the material he has to work with. His rage in the scene at the after work poker game is electric. The plot has holes but at least it sort of makes sense in the end. Overall it seems a waste of the talent in this film and the stunning locations. Having said all that I secretly enjoyed it.

Unlike some others, I really like this movie. As an American, I appreciate the Paris locations, which are well chosen. I like the Alfa Romeo Montreal that Michael Caine's character drives, an exceedingly rare and attractive model. I feel the dialog is clever and natural, and at times funny ("funguoo you!). It's interesting to see Pierre Salinger, the American statesman, in a small role and doing it well. I feel you need to look at "The Destructors" as a group of vignettes, individually well done.While player motivations are sometimes a bit unclear,and some subplots lead nowhere, most of the main scenes are well presented. Younger people used to the slam bang action and quick scene cuts of newer movies may call it dull, but those who appreciate fine actors like James Mason, Anthony Quinn and Michael Caine may see this as a diamond in the rough. If you have a chance, catch this film on cable or at a theatre that plays older films, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Anthony Quinn and Michael Caine had previously worked together on the critically panned The Magus, but undeterred they reunite in this typical '70s Euro-thriller. If rumours are to be believed, Caine accepted the role of assassin John Deray in this movie without reading a single word of the script. He wanted to get himself and his family away from chilly England, so the lure of shooting this picture in the relative warmth of southern France was enough to secure his services! Alas, The Marseille Contract is a disappointing and exceedingly familiar thriller, utterly reminiscent of a hundred other movies made around that time. Those who have not seen many movies of this ilk might enjoy it more than others, but for the connoisseur of the '60s/'70s continental thriller there is absolutely nothing fresh about this one.American intelligence agent Steve Ventura (Anthony Quinn) is out to nail a seemingly respectable French citizen named Jacques Brizard (James Mason). In reality Brizard is a major drug lord who uses his privileged reputation to evade the suspicion of the French police. Ventura's hard approach upsets the French authorities, who think he is unfairly victimising one of their innocent citizens. Unable to get close to his quarry, Ventura decides to take the unorthodox method of hiring a contract killer to erase Brizard. The assassin who comes forth to carry out the job, much to Ventura's surprise, is John Deray (Michael Caine). The pair of them are old buddies, though since they last met their lives have taken decidedly different routes. Deray sets about completing his contract, but various twists and double-crosses await along the way.When a star trio of Caine, Quinn and Mason can't save a film, you know it must be a pretty hopeless case. Judd Bernard's clichéd script simply regurgitates characters and situations from other movies in the genre – it's basically like rolling Caravan To Vaccares, The Mackintosh Man, The French Connection II, The Mechanic and Cold Sweat into one. If you've seen any of those films, you've more-or-less seen this one. Director Robert Parrish goes through the motions in by-the-numbers fashion, tossing in competent car chases, cold-blooded killings and attractive locations without ever creating any real interest in the story. Roy Budd contributes a cool score (very much of its era) and ace director-of-photography Douglas Slocombe captures the appealing locations very nicely. But these are just minor compensations in a film of mind-numbing unoriginality. If you are on some sort of personal quest to watch every Michael Caine film, or every Anthony Quinn film, or even every James Mason film ever made, then you may have a reason to seek out this title. But everyone else will find it is not a film that offers its audience any particular pleasure or reward.
