Le Doulos The Finger Man - (Jean-Pierre Melville;1962;France/Italy)
A man released from prison kills a connection with jewelry loot, and soon attempts another heist, not knowing his friend is an informer.
I love the opening tracking shot through the walkway with the wonderful music. This whole film has a noir feel to it that makes it poignant. Consider the first murder of the film, unexpected with the body suddenly knocking the light, which sways back and forth with blackness and light. Serge Reggiani isn't as piercing as Alain Delon or other Melville characters, but he still supports the film very well. A great crime film about two-timers, with a perfect ending.
