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. But what raised it to a classic in my view is its jet-black film noir sensibility. The central character may be a "man of honour" but he's also a brutal thug. The film's emotional weight comes as you watch a malign fate stalk and destroy the gang. And for me the best scene is not the robbery, but the her's final journey to the end credits...
