In Jules Dassin's classic noir Rififi, Jean Servais plays Tony le Stephanois, a master thief with a battered face and a tubercular cough, souvenirs of a recent stint in the pen. The aging Tony is reluctant to return to a life of crime, but when he realises his girlfriend has thrown him over for a rival gangster, he agrees to attempt one last job. Together with three collaborators — a young father, a boisterous Franco-Italian, and a sentimental Milanese safecracker — Tony meticulously engineers his biggest heist yet: robbing the most heavily guarded jewelry store in Paris. Highlighted by its celebrated half hour wordless robbery sequence, Francois Truffaut once hailed Rififi as "The best film noir I've ever seen". French with subtitles.
