Hello everyone.
I'm looking for a US film, in Black and White, that I saw on a French channel at the end of the 80s, but which dates, in my opinion, from the period 55-65 (not before, probably not after).
Beautiful black and white image, west coast US region I think (but not sure). The sea is not far.
More of a thriller atmosphere, but not 100% tense.I only saw the last 20 minutes: a tall, strong blond guy, like Sterling Hayden, who is more or less on the run and ends up in a big house (not far from the sea?) where a woman comes to give him advice (to surrender? To do or not to do a particular action?...).
There is also a history of rivalries (male around this woman, or another woman?)
The most significant thing is the atmosphere: humid, it's hot, windows half open, curtains flying in the wind, large ceiling fans spinning,... There is an unbearable heat which also weighs on the characters and in particular the guy in the house.
Something else: very striking Caribbean/Afro-Cuban music.
The very clean Black and White and the Afro-Cuban music make me think it's from the early 60s.
Last clue: the film that most resembles it is Kubrick's "The Ultimate Raid". But a lighter finale I think, and it's a rather minor film, but complex and quite interesting.
A little idea?...
