Roger Duchesne stars in Jean-Pierre Melville's stark portrait of the Pigalle district of Paris, where the hero treads his way home from the gaming tables, planning a heist of the casino that will make his assured fortune and gathers a team to pull off the job. Along the way, double-crosses, police interest and mysterious ladies cross his path in one of the most assured French film noirs ever made.
