Any Number Can Win - 1963 - 6/10
AKA - Mélodie en Sous-sol
Charles returns home from five years in the slammer, his second stint now.
His wife wants him to settle down, move to the southern coast.
Only no, he’s had five years to work out the big heist – the last score!
Charles has the smarts, but he’s old and needs a young partner.
One who turns out to be a little too full of himself.
Outstanding caper film, methodical, assured, expertly shot.
The pairing of Jean Gabin and Alain Delon is classic.
