French filmmaker Claude Sautet (Un Coeur en Hiver) began his career with   a string of gangster films not unlike Rififi, and Classe Tous           Risques (The Big Risk) is probably the finest example. Lino Ventur  a   stars as a career criminal who has started a family in Milan while in hiding   from the French police. He decides to return to Paris for one last job, but    when the heist goes south, he must enlist a young crook (Jean-Paul Belmondo,   Breathless) to help him navigate the now-unfamiliar Parisian underwo  rld. "The French New Wave descended more or less directly from mainstream French    crime films made in the 1950s, and if there is a missing link in that          evolution, it might be this one" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). With  cinematography by Ghislain Cloquet and music by Georges Delerue. In Frenc  h     Claude Sautet---France---1960---103 min.s
