Old, classic, slow French 1950s gangster movie.
What's not to like of giant actors Jean Gabin and Lino Ventura (though his debut film from wrestling)?
Maybe the inexplicably unexplained first scene at the restaurant and the misguiding Marco sent to do business with Pierrot and Angelo?
Or is it the atrociously misogynistic manners of heroes and foes alike towards sexualized actresses?
Probably the latter...
In a nutshell, an excellent example of what the French cinema could bring to the screen in the 1950s; best to view it as a historical artifact than a film one can swear by.
600 characters.
