Rififi (1955)
(Du rififi chez les hommes)
Country: FR
Technical: bw 116m
Director: Jules Dassin
Cast: Jean Servais, Carl Mohner, Robert Manuel
Synopsis:
Crooks team up to rob a jewellers, but are double-crossed and end up shooting each other.
Review:
Classic caper thriller, a theme Dassin perhaps got from The Asphalt Jungle, but would remake again and again. Its wordless, soundless robbery sequence, comprehensive to the smallest detail, was unprecedented and also much imitated. In other respects it is very like a Melville film.
