A gangster and his partner commit one last crime before fleeing to France in Claude Sautet’s great directorial debut.
A sombre, downbeat gem in the hard-bitten tradition of Rififi.
The kind of riproaring, existential gangster film you'd expect from Jean-Pierre Melville or a young Jean-Luc Godard.
What a treat.
A tense tale of dishonour among thieves this is as hard-boiled and flinty as anything Hollywood was making at the time.
A splendid showcase for the great Lino Ventura.
