Melodie en sous-sol
Product ID: 17993656
Directed by Henri Verneuil. Starring Carla Marlier, Alain Delon, Jean Gabin. Review: Any Number Can Win - Melodie end Sous Sol - For those who enjoy the Jean Gabin - Alain Delon team, this show is a must. Shot on location in Cannes in the early 60s, this black and white film takes you back to the best show France could lay on. The sparkling Riviera in all its glory serves as a visual historical record of the period. This film was an effort to impress; to depict the new/modern France of the 60's. Enter into this new Riviera the great pair of French crime-show actors teamed up in a tantalizing, tight and fast running plot that is not only plausible but impressive (the two intend to make off with the entire summer season's winnings of a casino). The filming on local in a modern, functioning casino on the Riviera makes the theme, plot and premise for the film all the more authentic. The English subtitles go by fast and the translation, regardless of how well done, looses something but that's ok. For the novice French speaker, there is much to be learned from the rapid lines Gabin and Delon spin off in the French gangster argot and slang of the day. For native French speakers, it has to be great fun. The Jean Gabin 'presence' is vintage and Delon sizzles in youthful beauty, confidence and insolence. When his role switches to that of a ruthless tough, he is convincing; a side to the role that he switches on and off at ease. He's otherwise a humorous lout. Gabin's performance is stolid and hammers his colleagues and audience alike with deadly, matter-of-factness (don't mess with this guy...). The mix of an audacious plot, humor and weighty irony at the films conclusion all intoxicate. And we're all invited to be part of it on this unusual visit the Riviera. A delightful film.

No sub-titles!!
I love this movie, but even though it is ready to play in American and Canadian DVD players, it has no English sub-titles. Buyer beware!!

Great film
Love these two actors who work great together. It’s a heist film, complicated, but gripping. But the ending is so brilliant I laughed. Perfect.

Puede que no sea un bluray prensado, pero ver esta película vale la pena, en el formato que sea. Dos bribones, Gabin y Delon, tratando de robar un casino en la Costa Azul es una gran experiencia para un cinefilo y la verdad, es que la imagen y sonido son excelentes.
