Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCharles' house appears to be the last single one left between the new high-rise buildings. His wife was offered 15 Mill. Frs. to tear it down and make room for a new skyscraper. In fact the house is still standing with no more high-rise buildings around but those that are in shown in the film.
- GoofsCharles' plan to hide the money in the dressing-cabin was not worked out very well. It was predictable that the police would search every possible hiding-place around the casino. Handing over the bags at the swimming-pool would also be very suspect. Finally, what's the point hiding the bags into the pool? They would be visible from the surface anyway and would have been discovered immediately.
- Crazy creditsThe film opens with MGM's 1956-57 logo.
- Alternate versionsThe colored version is shorter than the original black & white film: 13 minutes are missing in this version (original cut: 116 min, colored cut: 103 min). No complete scenes are cut, but many scenes are shortened.

Featured review
great heist film!
This film deserves more credit than it gets. All the actors are top notch (Jean Gabin as the ageing theif, Alain Delon as the playboy) and the story is very well crafted and has all the great tough guy dialogue of great caper's like RIFIFI, BOB LE FLAMBEUR etc however the overall tone of the film is a bit lighter and not as serious as those films. the heist itself is pretty short and sweet but this movie is more about the planning and the aftermath.
Another great thing about this picture is that even though it's black and white, it's still widescreen adding a nice touch to the look of the film. The only drawback to the DVD is that the picture is quite soft and blurry but for a film of this age and obscurity beggars can't be choosers! Another must see for heist fans (like me!)
