Movie Clip

Jour de Fete (1949) -- (Movie Clip) Speed! Speed! Motivated now by the newsreel he saw about the American methods of delivery, rural French postman Francois (director Jacques Tati) sets about his rounds with new determination, with some of the best gags, in Tati’s first feature, Jour de Fete, 1949.
Rififi (1954) -- (Movie Clip) Break-In Just a portion of the roughly half-hour dialogue -free heist sequence, Tony (Jean Servais), Mario (Robert Manuel), Jo (Carl Mohner) and Cesar (Jules Dassin, the director, with mustache) from Rififi, 1954.
Rififi (1954) -- (Movie Clip) No Cash No Cards Opening scene, veteran crook Tony (Jean Servais) coming up short in a card game, calls on loyal friend Jo (Carl Mohner) for a stake, in blacklisted American director Jules Dassin's acclaimed Paris crime caper, Rififi, 1954.
Rififi (1954) -- (Movie Clip) They Let Me Out Newly paroled Tony (Jean Servais), who took the fall for a jewel heist, finds his old girlfriend Mado (Marie Sabouret) well cared-for in a Paris night club, with shocking brutality, early in director Jules Dassin's Rififi, 1954.
Rififi (1954) -- (Movie Clip) Le Rififi Magali Noël performs, song by Philippe Gerard and Jacques LaRue, Jules Dassin directs, and also appears, as safecracker Cesar, at the table with Robert Manuel as Mario, who introduces him to ex-con Tony (Jean Servais) who’s rejoined the jewelry heist scheme, one of the few less intense scenes, in Rififi, 1954.
