Plot summary
Franz Propp and Dino Barran served together in the French Foreign Legion and left the service when the war in Algeria ended. Propp, a legionnaire, urges Barran, an army doctor, to accompany him to the Congo, but Barran remains to help Isabelle Moreau. Barran accidentally killed her lover in Algeria, and she asks him for a different favor: a post at a large Paris company, with Dominique Austerlitz as his assistant, and a task over the Christmas break. He is to put missing documents back into the firm's safe without anyone noticing. Propp, now working as a pimp, slips into the building after him and learns that millions in wages are also stored inside that safe.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Farewell, Friend (1968)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Alain Delon wanted an American actor as his co-star and admired Charles Bronson's acting in films such as Machine Gun Kelly, so he had the producer approach Bronson while Bronson was in Europe shooting Villa Rides.
- Charles Bronson had long turned down European films and was only half-convinced by Serge Silberman's argument that European audiences were drawn by character rather than looks; his agent Paul Kohner made the deal for Adieu l'ami.
- After Adieu l'ami, Charles Bronson went on to star in a string of hugely popular European-made films, among them Once Upon a Time in the West and Rider on the Rain.
