An homage to the American gangster film, SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER is Truffaut's brilliant follow-up to THE 400 BLOWS. Charles Aznavour plays a former concert pianist who has given up his fame and career and now plays in a run-down Parisian bar. He befriends a waitress who encourages him to resume his career. However, when his gangster brother begs him for help, the pianist heads down a precarious path of murder, intrigue and passion.
