Jules Dassin does have a seat of choice in the gallery of Movie History. The movies he directed in Hollywood in the unhurried forties are now classics and his courage under the Mc Carthy era demands our utmost respect. Exiled in France, he directed RIFIFI aka ” Du Rififi Chez Les Hommes ” in 1954 based on a Série Noire current of Auguste le Breton. And it’s simply one of the best films noirs ever made.
Jean Servais is perfect as a french Bogart marked by tuberculosis, Robert Hossein, in his first role, plain as a drug addict tougher than George Raft and Jules Dassin himself, in the role of an italian terrible guy, very convincing. Add a astounding singing act of Magali Noël, the french starlet of the sixties, the gargantuan Alexandre – The Children of Paradise – Trauner as art director and the 30 minutes anthology scene, without musical secure nor dialogs, of the robbery and you have a movie you can’t neglect if you are a fair movie lover.
The copy presented in this Criterion DVD release is definitive and the 25 minutes interview with Jules Dassin a bonus feature very appreciated. There is also the choice between the french subtitled version and a dubbed version for the inactive ones. How can you calm hesitate! Go, purchase and be cheerful.

In an earlier review, I criticised the sound synchronisation – well, Criterion have rectified this pickle in the new second printing. This information can be found at Criterion’s revamped website, Criterionco.com, which is now very informative – there is a page devoted to known problems, and a page where you can alert them to any modern problems you find; also you can ask general questions.

Technically, now, this film transfer is outstanding – the report is superbly distinct, better in fact than a restored print recently screened in Sydney.

For me, the film itself gets better with each viewing. Kind of incredible considering this is overtly a suspense thriller, where not quick-witted the outcome should be crucial – perhaps this reveals that it is more a character seek, particularly a rumination on a character accepting his fate, a fate portrayed as virtually predestined. Also there is a sense that Dassin delights in the making of this characterize – his performance as Cesare the Milanese is similarly brimming with eager charm. The production gain by Alexandre Trauner (Les Enfants du Paradis) is another factor in allowing enjoyment to grow with each viewing – the film looks astonishing. There’s a sense that each carefully considered allotment of the film is distinguished, and that to change any would be to the detriment of the film as a whole – a itsy-bitsy like the feeling inspired by a astronomical musical symphony; possibly it’s a minute ironic then that the one questionable element is the title song! In the notes, Dassin is said to have rued his dismissal of an alternative, and at the time largely unknown, songwriter – Charles Aznavour!

It is also fabulous to contemplate that for decades this film was rarely available for public screening and not obtainable on video. It deserves to be seen by everyone with a savor of cinema. A truly huge film.
