Made in U.S.A is a 1966 French crime comedy film[3] written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and starring Anna Karina, László Szabó, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Marianne Faithfull, Yves Afonso, and Jean-Claude Bouillon.

Because neither Godard nor the producer got permission or paid for the rights to adapt The Jugger, Westlake brought legal action, and the film was not released in the United States for over four decades.

A newly restored print of the film was distributed by Rialto Pictures in 2009, starting with a screening at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco on April 1, which was three months after Westlake's death.

[5] In 1968, journalist Paula Nelson goes to Atlantic-Cité to meet her ex-boyfriend, Richard P[olitzer], who wrote communist magazine editorials, only to discover he has died, supposedly of a heart attack.

When Widmark takes Paula back to her hotel, they find it abuzz with police, and learn that Typhus and Doris have been killed, and Inspector Aldrich has come from Paris to investigate.

Siegel, having been cast aside by Widmark, shows her pictures of Richard's murder, reveals he killed Typhus and Doris because they caught him searching her room, and offers to take her to the villa in exchange for money, but Paula shoots him instead.

The film is dedicated to "Nick and Sam", referring to Nicholas Ray and Samuel Fuller, "Hollywood mavericks who were objects of filial awe and Oedipal aggression" for Godard.

Scott wrote that, while the film is "far from a lost masterpiece, it is nonetheless a bright and jagged piece of the jigsaw puzzle of Mr. Godard’s career", and suggested a number of "reasons for non-Godardians" to see it: There is, for one thing, a pouting and lovely Marianne Faithfull singing an a capella version of "As Tears Go By".
