(LE CASSE, Henri Verneuil, France/Italy 1971, 120 min., 35mm)

In this classy heist movie that recalls Rififi, Jean-Paul Belmondo plays a career thief who plots his last big jewel robbery. But a thuggish and corrupt cop (Omar Sharif) wants his own piece of the action. An attractive cast (including Dyan Cannon), plus a spectacular car chase and gorgeous Athens locations, add up to deliver a smorgasbord of eye candy. The action is played out to Ennio Morricone’s seductive score, which features the wordless vocals of his frequent collaborator Edda Dell’Orso.
