Very good ganster comedy by Gilles Grangier, the craftsman of French cinema, certainly one of his best films. Disregarded by the authors of the new wave, the one who made "daddy's cinema" deserves better than his reputation. The story and the staging are certainly classic, and a bit dated by the time the movie was made in 1960, but we spend a very good time in the company of these magnificent crooks interpreted by Jean Gabin and Bernard Blier. These two actors have no equal when it comes to interpreting Audiard's superb dialogues that you absolutely must appreciate in the original version. And the views of Paris are just superb...
