Seven French losers, one impossible heist, zero elevator access — what could go wrong?
Seven small rogues dream of stealing the beautiful jewels which are in Paris for an exhibition.
Acting
Bouquet's sweaty desperation is *chef's kiss* commitment.
Cinematography
Grimy 70s Paris never looked so romantically pathetic.
Practical Effects
Pre-digital heist mechanics hit different, clumsier, better.
Director
Roger Pigaut
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pigaut cast mostly theater actors to get that sweaty live-performance energy for the cramped heist scenes.
Released during the decline of French studio comedy, it's a weird bridge between Poiret farce and the grittier heist films to come.
