This film was truly Dynamite. Never heard of it before.
Saw this (on ABC I believe) in the mid-70s, never again till now. Flabbergasted to find it, thanks so much!
Request-wise: A widescreen HARD CONTRACT would be an early bday/xmas present, as the youtube version isn’t quite awesome looking. Had a VHS from TCM’s airing 20 years ago, but that one busted.
It’s on Youtube:

Only copy available atm in widescreen AR, very poor quality :'(
Insanely terrible yet boring. Not Berlin’s fault. Bad script, bad director, bad Legrand score.
Awesome film, Berlin and Sheider are fantastic, and Legrand’s score is lovely.
What a find, thanks!
