An interesting film noir that has all the elements one would expect of the gems of the 40s and 50s made in Hollywood: trench coat, hat, and gun.
Serge Reggiani is Maurice. Just released from prison, it is not long before he is set up by his supposed friend Silien (Jean-Paul Belmondo).
The cops are looking for who shot one of their own and who shot a fence. There is a lot of double crossing going on among the thieves.
The look and feel of the film is spectacular. The big cars, the scenes, the great music: it all works to make for an excellent noir experience.
The ending really surprises in a way I did not expect. Well, if I expected it, it wouldn't be a surprise would it? Just when everything gets tied together, it all comes undone again.
Damn, the music was perfect.
