Du Rififi chez les hommes
Jules Dassin / FR, IT, 1955 / 119 min.
Old gangster Tony leaves prison and allows himself to be talked into one more final job. The way Jules Dassin filmed the robbery of a Parisian jewellers’ is legendary. “The best film noir I have ever seen,” said François Truffaut.
American director Jules Dassin (1911 - 2008) who fled to France because anti-communist Joe McCarthy had made it impossible for him to work – made a name for himself in Europe in one fell swoop with Du Rififi chez les hommes.
