The Japanese release title, \u003cstrong data-end=\"643\" data-start=\"631\"\u003e「パリ大捜査網」\u003c\/strong\u003e (“Paris Dragnet”), perfectly captures the film’s tone of relentless pursuit and metropolitan menace.

It combines Gabin’s immense screen authority with taut procedural momentum and a distinctly late-1960s atmosphere of cynicism, violence, and cool urban modernity. The film is also especially noted for its music by \u003cstrong data-end=\"1664\" data-start=\"1644\"\u003eSerge Gainsbourg\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose contribution has become part of the picture’s enduring cultural identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2140\" data-start=\"1747\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1764\" data-start=\"1747\"\u003ePoster design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1767\" data-start=\"1764\"\u003eThe design is striking and instantly memorable.
