Great film. Although I watched it because I LOVED Le Circle Rouge, and read that the heist scene in that was Mellville's response to the one in this (which he was originally supposed to direct instead of Dassin), and I have to say that of the two, although they're both classics, Le Circle Rouge is easily the one that blew my mind more...
