When French criminal Corey gets released from prison, he resolves to never return. He is quickly pulled back into the underworld, however, after a chance encounter with escaped murderer Vogel. Along with former policeman and current alcoholic Jansen, they plot an intricate jewel heist. All the while, quirky Police Commissioner Mattei, who was the one to lose custody of Vogel, is determined to find him.

Melville embraces a lot of the classic crime tropes here, but they’re presented in ways that feel really distinct and clever. I also appreciate his strong directorial stamp; the atmospheric camerawork and minimal dialogue/exposition lift this far beyond what could otherwise be a simple genre exercise. Maybe the pacing is too slow for a modern audience, but I love how it slowly builds tension and character. The plot is simple yet memorable, concise, well structured and riveting. Honestly there’s very little wrong with this film, I’d recommend this to anyone who’s into filmmakers like Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Mann and David Fincher. 9/10

Though it takes quite a while to get going, and I constantly wanted to rub that annoying moustache from the face of Alain Delon ("Corey") I really rather enjoyed this crime caper. Delon recruits the dapper ex-cop with a drink problem - "Jansen" (Yves Montand), and the recently escaped "Vogel" (Gian More
