A seminal work of crime filmmaking that led the young critic Francois Truffaut to declare “the best Film Noir I have ever seen”, Jules Dassin’s ‘Rififi’ has influenced films as diverse as ‘Reservoir Dogs’ and ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ since its release. Tony le Stephanois (Jean Servais), a master thief fresh out of jail, wearing a harried look and suffering ill health refuses to be involved with crime - until he finds his girlfriend shacked up with a rival gangster. With little reason to keep living he plans a final job: a robbery of the jewellery store Mappin & Webb. ★★★★★ "A diamond" - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
