They are successful in their plan, but the Don Juan Cesar errs by giving a valuable ring to his mistress..

French toast
When my dad recommends a film, he’s usually right. “Rififi” was one he’d gone on about for years, so finally I bought it, first for him, then me to watch after him. It’s fair to say the old man got it right again and when I say right, I mean dead right.This, quite simply, is one of the most compelling and exhilarating films I’ve ever seen, everything you could want in a gangster movie. I say gangster movie, but you could throw other epithets at it too, like revenge thriller, heist movie, film noir and more, it defies button-holing and is all the more remarkable when you consider when it was actually made. It’s very adult in its themes and still seems remarkably up-to-date today with perhaps only its treatment of women dragging it back to its source decade.
Otherwise it’s violent, sexy and realistic with the ensemble acting as good as anything I’ve seen in a movie. Dominating proceedings is Jean Servais as Tony, the jailbird scheming supremo in a performance of sustained determination, his hangdog expression rarely changing as the movie progresses. His three confederates give able backing while the female actresses also shine, with Tony’s ex-girl and girlfriend candidly shown in states of undress five years before Hitchcock shocked America when filming Janet Leigh in her brassiere.
Filmed in a brooding black and white, often in the Parisian rain, it literally drips atmosphere and features many memorable shots (the death of Cesar at Tony’s hand, the kidnapped child’s mother running to the camera in her anguish and more), while the centrepiece is of course the celebrated 30 minute dialogue-free scene of the robbery itself, where you forget you’re watching actors and instead feel like you’re witnessing closed circuit TV before its time. The camera-work is fluid throughout, the pacing of the narrative just right and the downbeat conclusion wholly apt.
I recommend admirers of crime movies to find a way to watch and get absorbed in this remarkable film. I certainly did.
