\n(which is a play on a kind of French insurance policy and also slang for “tourist class”)
\ngot lost in the shuffle. It hasn’t been shown in America in more than 40 years, but
\nit feels very fresh.<\/p>\n
\n(Lino Ventura) and his partner seconds before they pull an audacious payroll heist on
\na crowded Milano street. Then comes the exhilarating chase; cross borders by car,
\nmotorcycle, boat, ambulance, and finally on foot. On the lam with 2 kids, the cops
\nare closing in and Davos calls in some favors. The former partners in crime he sprang
\nfrom the joint back in the day are now sitting pretty in Paris and not eager to get
\ninvolved. Still, it’s payback time and they send a very young Jean Paul Belmondo
\n(his next film, Breathless, would make him a star) to bring the old gang boss back
\nhome with the help of (pre-Fellini) vavavoom Sandra Milo.<\/p>\n
\ntouches throughout; a muddied high heel, a surreptitious meet in the Nice post office.
\nDirector Claude Sautet includes a lovely first kiss in a great old Parisian elevator
\nand a pass the time of day exchange between our desparate criminal and a house maid
\nfetching water in the building where he’s hiding out —- moments that may add
\nnothing to the arc of the screenplay but are the stuff that make movies live in your heart.<\/p>\n
\nmaking peace with his friends and fixing his enemies, before meeting his destiny
\nlike a man. <\/p>\n
\nother fabulous French underworld flicks rescued from unjust obscurity by Film Forum
\nprogrammer Bruce Goldstein and Rialto Pictures.
\nRegrettably, they really don’t make them like this anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
