It was back to crime for another series of thrillers in which he starred as well as produced: Man in a Hurry (1977), Death of a Corrupt Man (1977), Le Gang (1977), and Attention, The Kids Are Watching (1978).[63] In 1979, Delon stated that only a quarter of his business activities involved films, that he also had “a helicopter business, built furniture, promoted prize fights, and raced horses”, and that he was still interested in becoming a star in America.
In 1979 he made a final attempt at Hollywood stardom, signing with agent Sue Mengers and starring in The Concorde … Airport ’79 (1979).[65] The film was not a big success. Delon returned to acting in French films, playing in and producing The Medic (1979) and Three Men to Kill (1980).
Delon was given the lead in the comedy Women Are Weak (1959). This was a big hit in France and was the first of Delon’s films to be seen in America. Delon made some personal appearances in New York to promote the movie.
