#Touchez pas au grisbi 1954 driver
Max's driver is clearly driving a desk through Paris, when he looks into the rear-view mirror and sees a reflection of two mooks driving another desk. Driving a Desk: Twice within the same frame.Downer Ending: The loot is lost, Riton dies, and when Max is told that Riton is dead he has to act like nothing has happened.Distressed Dude: Riton is kidnapped by Angelo, who threatens to kill him.Danger Takes a Backseat: How Marco, now working for Max, gets the drop on Angelo's mook Fifi.Criminal Procedural: The film is about a thief who tries to protect his loot, while another mobster tries to extort it from him.He has a gorgeous girlfriend in Lola the burlesque dancer, he has a second girlfriend in beautiful Betty, and Huguette the Sexy Secretary is climbing all over him during Max's visit to her boss, the fence. The Casanova: Max sure does have a way with the ladies.And then when Max and even bustier Huguette are kissing and pawing each other, he looks down at her rack and says "It's nice to find one's little friends in good form.".


Buxom Beauty Standard: Max's suave European charm is rather oddly juxtaposed with an adolescent obsession with big breasts.If civilians come in the landlady politely tells them that all of the tables are booked, and recommends the restaurant over the road. Bad-Guy Bar: Max and his friends hang out at a small restaurant, which looks much nicer than the standard for this trope.Max's girlfriend Betty was played by an American actress, Marilyn Buferd, who previously was Miss America 1946. Max briefly considers abandoning Riton to his fate but eventually decides to rescue his friend.Ī career-restoring role for Jean Gabin, who had been in a long, long slump ever since World War II.

Riton however continues to make his partner's life difficult by blundering into a second trap. Max narrowly escapes a trap laid by Angelo's goons, then retrieves the gold from its hiding place and drops it off with his uncle, a fence. Josy then told her new boyfriend, the much younger gangster Angelo ( Lino Ventura in his film debut). Unfortunately for Max, Riton blabbed about the heist to his moll Josy ( Jeanne Moreau in one of her first big roles). He and his partner, Riton, have pulled off a heist in which they stole eight large gold ingots from Orly airport. Gabin is Max, an aging criminal and hoodlum. Touchez pas au grisbi ("Don't Touch the Loot") is a 1954 film directed by Jacques Becker, starring Jean Gabin.
