NEW YORK VIEW
Unseen Stateside for over three decades, French director Claude Sautet’s little-known debut is a stunning gangster flick that expertly balances terse macho theatrics and a surprisingly tender emotional throughline. Lino Ventura is a wizened thief sneaking back to France after exile in Milan, a young Jean-Paul Belmondo is the honorable hood helping him out. Restored, with new subtitles, this 1960 obscurity is the great discovery of 2005.

CINEMASOURCE SYNOPSIS
