Rififi


After making such American noir classics as "The Naked City" and "Brute Force", blacklisted director Jules Dassin went to Paris and embarked on his masterpiece: a twisting, turning tale of four ex-cons who hatch one last glorious heist in the
City of Lights. At once naturalistic and expressionistic, Rififi is a melange of suspense, brutality, and dark humor. Starring: Jean Servais, Carl Möhner, Robert Manuel, Jules Dassin, Marie Sabouret, Janine Darcey, Claude Sylvain, Marcel Lupovici, Pierre Grasset and Robert Hossein.
