This is the prototype heist film that set a high standard for those to come. Tony (Jean Servais), recently out of prison, puts together a team to rob a large jewelry store. The burglary itself is fascinating, with no talk or music as the team plies their trade in a half-hour sequence. Problems develop after the successful job. This is Director Dassin's second film in France after the House Un-American Activities Committee started its investigations.
