Cast

Production

Following the box office returns of Flic Story, director Jacques Deray put his project of adapting Boileau-Narcejac novel Opération Primevère on hold to do a sixth film with actor Alain Delon. Deray opted to again adapt a book by Roger Borniche.[1]

Le Gang was a French and Italian international co-production between the Paris-based Adel Productions and the Rome-based Mondial Te.Fi.[1] It was a predominantly French production with 70# of the 13 million francs budget being from Adel.[1]

The film began filming its 13-week shoot on May 24, 1976.[1]

Release

Le Gang was released in France on January 19, 1977.[1] Roberto Curti and Frank Lafond, the authors of French Thrillers of the 1970s: Volume I, Crime Films said that Le Gang had "disappointing business in France after a deceptive start.", noting it led the French box office in the opening week before dropping after. It had 1,190,000 spectators making it Delon's second-highest viewed film of his four in 1977.[3]

It was released in Italy as Le gang del parigino on February 10, 1977.[1]
