First, let me tell you my surprise to be the first to comment this title. I don't believe it !!!

It's a movie which has been released at least ten times on the french broadcasts. A movie with Jean Gabin - the greatest french actor ever - and Robert Stack, who is well known all around the world, at least as the famous Elliot Ness...

I won't present him.

A film where these two mega stars play together should already have been commented by the IMDb users. I really don't understand...

A caper movie. Once more.

Gabin plays a retired hoodlum, owner of a restaurant, who decides, for the last time, to prepare the biggest "job" of his career. A bank robbery, the bank which is just in front of his restaurant.

In that purpose, he needs help...

And an old friend of his suddenly reappears. An ex US soldier the old

thug met in the past, in another place.

But everything will not be as they expected...

One last thing, in this film, Gabin plays a restaurant, café, and garage owner who finds out that someone uses his property to deal drugs. The same scheme as in LA HORSE, shot two years later, where Gabin was a farm owner where there also was a hidden drug issue, stuff hidden on his own land.
