Neo-Realism meets Film
Noir as two tough guys execute a broad daylight
payroll heist on the streets of Milan. But
returning to France after holing up in Italy
for nearly a decade, one of them realizes there’s
a life beyond the milieu. Bridging '50s masterworks
like Rififi with Melville’s pared-down
thrillers of the ’60s, Classe Tous Risques,
virtually unseen in this country, is a penetrating
study of the underworld yegg at the end of
his rope, with the first teaming of two of
the French cinema’s greatest icons, Lino
Ventura and Jean-Paul Belmondo.
