Der amerikanische Freund (1977)
Der Bilderrahmer und Restaurateur Jonathan Zimmerman leidet an einer gefährlichen Blutkrankheit. Der skrupellose amerikanische Kunsthändler Tom Riple erfährt davon und aus einer Laune heraus erzählt er dem Ganoven Minot von Jonathan. Der bietet dem todkranken Mann an, für ihn einen Mordauftrag durchzuführen. Dafür soll er hoch bezahlt werden, um so seiner Frau und seinem Kind etwas hinterlassen zu können.
