a caper story

Jean Gabin and Robert Stack. the "60's atmosphere. a decent story, predictable.caper story, with classic ingredients. friendship, business, gray guys and bad guys, a bank. nothing surprising. and, maybe, nothing serious. but it is one of films remembering a recipe. not in brilliant manner. but decent. and, in essence, that is the most significant thing.

Average caper movie

This movie is included in (and apparently gives its English name to) a DVD pack called "Action Man Collection". The picture quality is fine, but the sound quality is not: there is a lot of background hiss, the dubbing is off-synch, and at one point you can hear dialogue from two different scenes mixed up together (luckily, this only lasts a few seconds). Because of the poor dubbing, it's hard to fully judge the actors' performances, though it cannot be denied that Jean Gabin still had a commanding presence, and Margaret Lee's seemingly thankless role grows in significance until it becomes the catalyst for the downbeat "crime does not pay" ending. The caper itself is pretty unconvincing (don't they check surprise replacements in security guards?). All in all, middle-of-the-road stuff. **1/2 out of 4.
