Title: A Solid Crime Film
Product review: Claude Sautet is not one of the most prolific French film directors but he stands among the best. This is his debut film but seemedto be made by a mature hand. A very good and well-mounted black and white crime story with the rock-like Lino Ventura supported by the charming and under-playing Jean-Paul Belmondo about criminals who do not hesitate to pull the triggers yet a human at heart among families and friends. It is about friendship, loyalty, betrayal, tragedy and crime rarely rewards with an abrupt and befitting ending. A fine film still stands solid after over 50 years.
