It's interesting that you mention that. One of the things
that I thought about while watching Samourai is that the
Delon character is loosely employed as a hitman by some
amorphous organization, similar to the protagonist in
Manchette's Gunman. While I certainly can't generalize from
just that, I did wonder if French hard-boiled/noir fiction
shows some predisposition towards the hitman/organization
scenario.
