Lucky Jo - 1964 - 6/10

Jo and his cohorts seem to be the worst criminals in France.
At the very least, they have the worst luck.
Following several incarcerations, three men do the unthinkable. Go straight.
Leaving Jo (Lemmy Constantine) a bit out of place, and not as young as he once was.
Then there’s the bank job, which the gendarmes assume must involve Mister Jo.
Fast moving, often amusing, film is hardly Noir. It’s too playful.
There are at least three lengthy fistfight, with each punch sounding like a someone striking a box.
Constantine appears too old to be an irresistible swain, as well.
