Claude Sautet’s first major feature stars Lino Ventura as Abel Davos, a wanted man in Italy, who stages a robbery in order to get money to relocate his family. As the losses mount and the noose tightens, Davos must decide when to call it quits. Also starring 26-year-old Jean-Paul Belmondo (straight from Breathless) and Sandra Milo. “A master-piece of the French gangster genre … A tough and touching exploration of honor and friendship among thieves.” – The New York Times
