Rather faithful to the Auguste le Breton's novel.

I read the novel several decades ago and was very moved by it, as any other book written by Le Breton, so poignant, gripping stories, where this author knew how to tell stories and tensions between characters. The atmosphere and overall story is similar to the book, except that in the novel, it is not question of a heist, and the last sequences are not in the film. This is the perfect example that you can change sequences in a film from a novel and still remain faithful to the book spirit. On the contrary, you can make a film, book handed, scene for scene, and change the whole soul, only with a few dialogues. The example, Claude Chabrol's NADA. It seems the best adaptation in the world from Jean Patrick Manchette's book, and it is not. See my comment for this latest feature; I explain every detail.

Disappointing!

I expected to see a very cool movie, with such a title and such a cast. I was expecting a spectacular production, with an alert action, something that would leave me breathless. Despite the presence of many good and very good actors, such as Nadja Tiller and Robert Hossein, the film is nothing but a big bore, not to mention that everything we see is more than predictable, not a bit of surprise, unforeseen or suspense. Robert Hossein here is very young and unconvincing. Very young and in 2 very tiny roles, Michel Galabru and Claude Pieplu. I never liked Roger Hanin, in any movie. Nadja Tiller and Silvia Monfort are the best, but they can't save the film, which is hard to digest.

Very dark "black novel"

If you like "roman noir", and you are able able to read French, search for Auguste le Breton's "du rififi chez les femmes". I suppose I have the first edition, 1967. You'll see that technology changed a number of things in Europe, but that the crime scenes are about the same, even when the dolls are mixed up in it up to their throats. The book makes for compelling reading, now and again. Unfortunately, the film is rather more sedate, but still watchable if you get in Antares/Travelling video in their collection "les immortels du 7ème art".
