The TVI Take
Jean-Pierre Melville's 1956 Paris-set heist film about an aging gambler planning a casino robbery in Deauville. The structural commitment to letting the Montmartre cultural-specific cinematography render Bob's cognitive register is the canonical pre-Nouvelle-Vague French-noir entry, and a direct influence on subsequent heist cinema from Soderbergh's Ocean's Eleven to Mann's Heat.
