Summary: A police informer who is friends with an Inspector and a thief finds life very complicated. French dialogue with subtitles.

This complex down-beat thriller follows the fatalistic relationship between two men: Maurice Faugel, a crook just out of prison and Silien (Belmondo), who may or may not be a doulos or finger man (a kind of high-class informer). Maurice, wasting no time, immediately begins to put himself on the wrong side of the law, setting up a number of robberies with the help of Silien, whom he begins to suspect is a police informer. A spellbinding French noir about loyalty and betrayal from influential director Jean-Pierre Melville.
