The poster completely misrepresents this movie. If you think "jewel heist" with that poster you might think "The Hot Rock", "Raffles", "The Thief Who Came to Dinner..." Comedy dramas? Well there's no doubt this is a stone cold classic, with a good (but not IMHO fantastic) 32-minute silent robbery sequence.

A 1955 classic whose story and production values have not aged. Sure, security technology has changed, and special effects have advanced. In spite of that, this movie has all the marks of a perfect film. Only one thing depicted in Rififi is no longer true: There is no longer any "honor among thieves More
