Shoot the Piano Player

“François Truffaut, Brilliant Director Who Gave You the Award Winning "The 400 Blows", Now Brings to the Screen a Fascinating New Work That Plays in Many Keys...All of Them Delightful!”

Charlie Kohler (Charles Aznavour) was once a celebrated classical pianist, but he has changed his name and now plays jazz in a grimy Paris bar. His brothers turn up on the run from gangsters they have scammed, and Charlie helps them escape. François Truffaut tells it as a crime story, though the real weight is a quiet man who keeps trying to disappear from his own past.
