1h 36m
Directed by Jacques Becker • 1954 • France
Starring Jean Gabin, René Dary, Paul Frankeur
Jean Gabin is at his most wearily romantic as aging gangster Max le Menteur in the Jacques Becker gem TOUCHEZ PAS AU GRISBI (“Hands Off the Loot”). Having pulled off the heist of a lifetime, Max looks forward to spending his remaining days relaxing with his beautiful young girlfriend. But when Riton (René Dary), Max’s hapless partner and best friend, lets word of the loot slip to loose-lipped, two-timing Josy (Jeanne Moreau), Max is reluctantly drawn back into the underworld. A touchstone of the gangster-film genre, TOUCHEZ PAS AU GRISBI is also pure Becker—understated, elegant, evocative.
