Touchez Pas Au Grisbi

Touchez Pas Au Grisbi

Synopsis

Becker’s film, based on a popular série noire novel, re-launched both Gabin's post-war career and the French gangster film. In Pigalle, Max (Gabin) is a world-weary underworld godfather wishing to retire after one last heist. Nightclubs and plush apartments are his territory, champagne his drink of choice. When Angelo’s rival gang threatens both his loot and his hapless friend Riton, Max is forced to rejoin the fray.
