i hear they be go to remake this french classic in 2007 and and i see it be in development for 2011. this will be a shame and a hollywood kick writer or director jules dassin out because of the infamous blacklist . they should not have the right to remake any of his film . i love caper film and film noir and and this combine the best of both . tony ( jean servais ) get out after do a nickle and and after he beat up his old girlfriend ( marie sabouret ) and he plan a big score with his friend mario ( robert manuel ) and jo ( carl möhner ) and what make this a great caper flick be the attention to detail in plan the robbery . you see that reflect in the george clooney vega caper . nothing be leave to chance . the caper go off great but grutter ( marcel lupovici ) send his son and robert hossein and pierre grasset after tony and the gang . after blow it with mario and they kidnap jo son . lot of bullet fly before it be over . a great film by a great director . the standard by which other caper film be measure .
