    Noir by the numbers
    Those of us with a long memory can remember Jean Gabin getting released from prison one morning and going home by bus. When he gets there, he's dumbfounded to see high-rise buildings all around him. Things have changed so much while he's been away (Mélodie en sous-sol, 1963). Henri Verneuil was a director who knew how to make us aware of the changes going on in his characters. Sam Karmann, on the other hand, just puts his actors through their paces with little regard for details--just look how clumsy the scene where Etienne Chicot shows Jacques Gamblin the jewelry is. A Melville, a Becker or a Corneau would have known how to create more interest for the viewer.

    The story has to be carried by the actors, and what a fine crew they are. Gérard Lanvin as the just-released prisoner, Jacques Gamblin as an aspiring actor heading into middle age and Clovis Cornillac as the most impulsive, and self-destructive, crook in ages are all great to watch. Cornillac especially, as the muscle-bound, dopey Didier is a lot of fun; he reminds me of a French Ralph Meeker.
