To satisfy the 10 lines minimum, the plot of the film is of an ex-convict who is recruited to participate in a jewel robbery. He revises the plan, and his team participate in an imaginative and daring heist. The robbery is, unfortunately, merely the precursor to the remainder of the film. In my opinion, the film qualifies as a film noir because of the plot twists after the robbery scene is portrayed. I'd never heard of any of the actors who played the major roles - which is a pity, as they all appeared to play well together. The film as a whole is a delight to watch, although knowing all the time that 'crime will not allowed to pay' (as in ?all? heist films prior to 'The Hot Rock'). 50s Paris was a definite bonus, as were the semi-flattened Citroens that everybody seemed to drive.
9 out of 10. At least.
