Melodie en sous-sol

Director: Henri Verneuil
Cast: Jean Gabin, Alain Delon
Date: 1963
Duration: 118 Minutes

Jean Gabin and Alain Delon star in Henri Verneuil’s classic crime film about an aging criminal fresh out of jail to pursue one final score, with the help of his former cellmate.

As he comes out of prison, rather than following his wife into quiet and respectable retirement, experienced crook Charles enlists the help of young Francis, to pull off a spectacular heist.

''Mélodie en sous-sol shows him in top form as mentor to the rookie played by the young Alain Delon, as both plan to rob the casino in Cannes. Delon always credits Gabin as a great inflence, and they would make two more films together. (Le Clan des siciliens, Deux hommes dans la ville)'' Ginette Vincendeau, Author of Stars and Stardom in French Cinema.
