This model French gangster picture set the rules for the great sequence of underworld movies from Jean-Pierre Melville that followed.

Time Out
[A] splendid film noir...
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3/4 --
It's those little character moments, balanced between charm and pathos, that make this film such a winner.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The film is often confusing, especially during the first half, but Gabin and Ventura are well cast as hoods and Moreau is as appealing as ever as an underworld temptress.

Rating: 4/4 --
A few years later, in Godard's Breathless, Belmondo would be deliberately channeling Bogart, but here Gabin is channeling only himself. He is the original, so there is no need to look for inspiration.

Chicago Sun-Times
It's Gabin's show all the way, anticipating the melancholy, atmospheric gangster pictures of Jean-Pierre Melville that started to appear a couple years later.

Product Description:
Gabin, the quintessential tough-guy, and Moreau, resplendent as always, pair up for this heist film, one of the best of the French gangster films of the 1950s. In it, Gabin is an aging thief who has already pulled off what he thinks was his last big job, scoring enough gold to last him through his twilight years. Unfortunately, one of his partners' girlfriends has taken up with the boss of a rival gang and he quickly learns about the big score. Soon, Max's best friend is kidnapped and held for ransom. The blackmail scheme soon turns into a battle of wits between Max and the rival gang that includes a number of double-crosses and, inevitably, leads to tragic finish.
