This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.In French with English subtitles.A man plans a hold-up with a group of trusted fellows, he gets his hands on the money, and the girl - what could go wrong? Almost everything.
Excellent French noir from legendary director Julien Duvivier about a safecracker (Robert Hossein) on the lam from big city Paris to a dead-end highway rest stop. The plot takes a page from The Postman Always Rings Twice with enough twists and turns to keep things exciting. Also starring Jean Sorel (Belle De Jour, She Killed In Ecstasy).
