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).

Terrific French noir from 1963
Terrific noir from Julien Duvivier (Pepe Le Moko, Panique). Two guys try to rob an apartment but things go south. One (Robert Hossein) is shot; he recovers, but receives a twenty-year jail term. The other (Jean Sorel, the dull husband in Belle du Jour) escapes, but remains an outlaw, wanted for his role in the robbery. Then, after one year, Hossein escapes from prison. Then the film become

Late Julien Duvivier movie
One of the last movies by director Julien Duvivier... As another reviewer has noted, the movie is in the Postman-Rings-Twice vein, only better than the Lana Turner/ John Garfield film... Great atmosphere of fatalism and doom... Solid acting and terrific ending.
