Coté casting de bons acteurs certes, mais pour des rôles sans. Angelo kidnappe le vieux truand et demande le 'grisbi' Max comme ranon. Oui, bon, Touchez pas au grisbi est un petit film policier conventionnel qui sans vraiment décevoir n’enchante guère non plus. L'entraneuse transmet la prcieuse information Angelo, un trafiquant de drogue avec lequel elle trompe Riton. Mais Riton ne peut s'empcher de parler du magot sa matresse Josy. And this film takes as much pleasure in watching Gabin open a bottle of wine as it does observing him in action. Avec ce 'grisbi', les deux gangsters comptent bien profiter d'une retraite paisible. If its code of honour and its world of safe houses (and the absence of any police) make it seem like a wartime resistance film, it does also show what other gangster movies often ignore: that the reason for earning money dishonestly is to be able to live in style.

But when moll Jeanne Moreau spills the beans to bad guy Lino Ventura (in his debut), it’s time for a showdown. Albert Simonin, Jacques Becker, Maurice Griffe. Becker’s film, full of neat angles and delightful little bits of business, is laconic and admirably methodical. Starring Jean Gabin, Lino Ventura and Jeanne Moreau (1954, Jacques Becker) Over-the-hill gangster Gabin has just pulled the heist of a lifetime: enough grisbi (loot) for a cushy retirement. Instead he finds himself in a world of moody double-crosses. An ageing and weary Gabin attempts to retire after one last robbery.

But it’s Gabin’s show all the way, anticipating the melancholy, atmospheric gangster pictures of Jean-Pierre Melville that started to appear a couple years later.” Jeanne Moreau, in one of her first parts, plays a showgirl who two-times Gabin’s similarly aging partner (Rene Dary), and future star Lino Ventura also puts in an appearance. “Jean Gabin wasn’t yet 50 when he starred as a big-time, high-style gangster hoping to retire, but he still looks pretty wasted, and this pungent tale about aging and friendship, adapted from a best-selling noir thriller by Albert Simonin, would be hard to imagine without his puffy features. He is the original, so there is no need to look for inspiration.” But the great French noirs of the 1950s are not copies of Hollywood instead, they have a particularly French flavor in Touchez Pas au Grisbi, the critic Terence Rafferty writes, ‘real men eat pate,’ and this is ‘among the very few French movies about the criminal class in which neither the characters nor the filmmakers are afflicted by the delusion that they are Americans.’ A few years later, in Godard’s Breathless (1960), Belmondo would be deliberately channeling Bogart, but here Gabin is channeling only himself. “The world of French crime films is a particular place, informed by the French love for Hollywood film noir, a genre they identified and named.
