Suffused with wry humor, this underworld comedy of manners melds the toughness of American gangster films with Gallic sophistication to lay the roadmap for the French New Wave. As the neon is extinguished for another dawn, an aging gambler navigates the treacherous world of pimps, moneymen and nav̐e associates while plotting one last score, the heist of the Deauville casino.
