Amazon's plot synopsis.

Jean-Pierre Melville's hugely influential film remains a cornerstone of the crime genre. Recently released from prison, thief Corey (Alain Delon) finds himself caught up in a dangerous triangle with a mysterious woman (Gian Maria Volonte) and an ex-cop with some issues of his own (Yves Montand). Melville's film is the epitome of cool, with muted moody cinematography and stellar set design. Featuring another standout performance from Delon, LE CERCLE ROUGE is a bona fide crime classic.

Well....

I somehow missed the part about the dangerous triangle with a mysterious woman :p

I knew it, Volonte was actually a girl, that would explain the sexual tension with Delon
