Want to Stay Alivet (original title Le denier du colt) is a 1990 French crime movie directed by Claude Bernard-Aubert and loosely based on the novel "Want to Stay Alive" by James Hadley Chase. It is the third in a series of French screen adaptations of the works of J.H. Chase, preceded by Try This One for Size (1989) and Have a Nice Night (1990), and followed by Believed Violent (1990). The series is united by the person of the insurance investigator Tom Lepski (Michael Brandon) (in the original novels Tom Lepski is a police detective in Paradise City, Florida). In Want to Stay Alivet a mysterious assassin commits several murders of wealthy people. When Lepski's love Liza Mendoza becomes a victim, Lepski starts his personal investigation.
