Today's film was Jaques Becker's

Touchez Pas au Grisbi (1954) (Don't touch the loot).

Starring Jean Gabin (the French named him the best actor of all time) as an elegant mobster who doesn't mind stepping out of the image and kicking some ass when requred. Still in his suit and tie.

This beautiful film noir is an old favorite and was time to see again along with two other Becker films from the same era.

I have seen this so many times and still see new stuff. A natural 5 out of Netflix5.

It is also a NYTimes Best 1176 Film.
