    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Filmed over a painstaking period of two years, such was Jean-Pierre Melville's attention to detail. Daniel Cauchy, who plays Paolo, found time to make four other films in that period.
    • Goofs
      McKimmie demonstrates the four-dial combination-lock for the gang by turning all four dials before opening and closing it. But when Roger practices his safe-cracking technique on it, he misses the upper-right dial and instead works the lower-right dial a second time (after sandpapering his fingertips).
    • Quotes
      • [subtitled version]
      • Bob Montagné: I was born here. It was not so dirty then. And I left to conquer the world. I was fourteen when I left my mother.
      • Anne: Did you go far?
      • Bob Montagné: Yes... a mile away.
      • Anne: And your father?
      • Bob Montagné: I use my mother's name.
      • Anne: She was unlucky with you both.
      • Bob Montagné: I returned ten years later, early one morning. I saw an old woman on her knees, scrubbing away, as she always had. That's how I recognized her. I left without a word. Then I sent her a postal order each month. One month it was sent back. She had stopped scrubbing.
