Du rififi chez les hommes

The film is based on the novel by Auguste Le Breton.

In 2000, a restored version of the film was a success on U.S. screens.

Before as a Director was approved by Dassin, it was assumed that the painting put Jean-Pierre Melville.

The film was shot on a tiny budget with actors of the second row. The role of the fallen gangster was selected who suffered from alcoholism Jean Serve

In the U.S., the film ran into censorship difficulties

At the same time, some countries have banned the film show as a kind of textbook for thieves. For example, in Mexico, it was announced that the film has generated a wave of robberies of jewelry stores.

The picture contains several scenes included in the Golden Fund of world cinema — a half-hour scene of a robbery of a jewelry store on Rue de Rivoli, captured with maximum realism, in complete silence

"Men dismantling" — the first 5 years of American film Director Jules Dassin, exiled in the years of McCarthyism from Hollywood. Dassin was excommunicated from the profession for slander of their own colleagues. The echoes of his bitterness felt in the scene of the massacre Tony over Caesar (who, ironically, was played by Dassin himself). This scene missing from the novel, was introduced in the film at the insistence of the Director.
