434 - Classe Tous Risques (1960)

Published: Nov. 25, 2019, noon

We\u2019ve gone from a man-on-the-run crime drama made in 1979 Japan, to another only made in 1960 Italy and France. \xa0Claude Sautet\u2019s\xa0Classe Tous Risques\xa0offers us a classic crime film full of desperate men, daring robberies, breathless car chases, the pathos of children living on the margins, and - because it\u2019s a 1960 french crime movie - Jean-Paul Belmondo swaggering about with a wry grin. \xa0What a treat!

If you\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\u2019s film, we will be watching Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger\u2019s\xa0A Canterbury Tale (1944).
