Alain Delon Revisited Alain Delon plays again his favorite role, that of a rugged "seen it all, done it all" police inspector, in this made for TV series of movies. All action is happening in Marseille, with its corrupt political and police systems, with its new French social problem, aka a significant Arab minority. Fabio Montale, the central character is investigating crime in the city, in the background of a beautiful Marseille, haunted by his childhood and his friends gone on their separate ways. One can still get glimps of Delon's boyish charm and his unique style of acting. It is a pretty good show.
