IL POLIZIOTTO DELLA BRIGATA CRIMINALE (aka PEUR SUR LA VILLE) is a cop movie directed in 1975 by Henri Verneuil and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Lea Massari, Adalberto Maria Merli, Giovanni Cianfriglia, Charles Denner, Rosy Varte, Roland Dubillard, Jean Martin, Catherine Morin, Germana Carnacina, Henry Djanik, Louis Samier, Jacques Paoli, Jean-Louis Fortuit, Gilberte Geniat, Philippe Brigaud. Letellier (Belmondo) is the head commissioner of the criminal brigade of Paris that has long dreamed his revenge towards the bandit Marcucci (Cianfriglia), the only survivor of a robbery followed by some murders. At the same time when the dangerous criminal is reported to be back on the scene, the officer is following the case of the death of Norah Elmer (Massari) at the hands of "Minosse", a maniac keen to killing all the women that, in his judgement, are lecherous. Not being sure on which of the two cases to deal with, Letellier chases Minosse and kills Marcucci, but in the meantime to the first victim Germaine (Varte), Hèlene (Morin) and Pamela (Carnacina) are added. Just randomly, based on the shards of a glass eye that remained in his hand and under the too bold moves of the maniac, the Commissioner discovers the murderer in Pierre Valdec (Merli). The criminal, founf after he nearly caused a massacre by throwing a hand grenade at a cinema projecting an erotic film, barricaded himself in the house of porno star protagonist, holding her hostage with all her family, already claimed to be his next victim. Triggered an explosive device with a timer, he wants a car and a plane to escape. Letellier decided, at this point, to resort to an extreme. Hanging on a cable from a helicopter, he gets inside the apartment through a window in a spectacular way, surprising an unsuspecting Valdec held at the phone by a pre-recorded message of Letellier. After a violent struggle, he manages to arrest him, ending the nightmare that has gripped an entire city and also receiving praises from his harsh upper. Ennio Morricone composed the main theme with the whistle which, after a rhythmic introduction that mimics the heartbeat, it develops with sounds for film noir, typical of the Maestro, perfect to describe any troubled urban reality, alternated with romantic passages of lounge style.
