Synopsis
In this adaptation of
John Trinian’s
The Big Grab,
Gabin plays godfather to
Delon’s rookie gangster in a meticulously planned heist of the Palm Beach casino in Cannes. The rugged
Gabin – the brain of the operation – and the diabolically handsome young
Delon, who would always credit
Gabin as a great influence, form a terrific team in a nail-biting thriller that also comments on the modernisation of 1960s France.
