Mr. Klein stars Alain Delon (1935–2024) in a role he considered his favorite.

Robert Klein is an amoral art dealer leveraging his position and status in 1942 Vichy France. Guided purely by self-interest, he exploits the desperate situation of French Jews to separate them from their valuable works of art passed on from generation to generation. After learning of another Robert Klein in the area, who he believes is trying to sabotage him, Klein’s sense of entitlement leads him to alert police. In so doing, the obsession steers him to become a suspect himself, and attempts to find the other (Jewish) Klein seal his fate.
