Le Doulos(1961) is a classic French gangster with its share of memorable sequences. The house theft scene is inspired by the famous jewel robbery from Jules Dassin's Rififi(1954). The direction is excellent and the plot unfolds with ease. Jean Paul Belmondo shows in Le Doulos(1961) why he was one of the coolest actors in the French cinema besides Alain Delon during the 1960s. The film is goes into the always reliable theme of honor among thieves and betrayal. A great Melville feature that ranks up there with Bob Le Flambeur(1955), Le Samurai(1967) and The Red Circle(1970).
