IMDb plot summary: Four men plan a technically perfect crime, but the human element intervenes...
Directed by Jules Dassin. Starring Jean Servais, Carl Möhner, Robert Manuel, and Janine Darcey.
The first movie of my new movie challenge! I think I was expecting more of a fun vibe, and then it was definitely more noir, which I don't usually like, but it mostly worked here and I got more into the story than I expected to. I really liked how many long sections of the movie were almost entirely silent, especially during the heist. I can definitely see this film's influence on future heist films. Overall a decent movie, especially considering it's in a genre that often doesn't work for me.
