NB: a bisexual character (Jean Servais),which was risqué for the time. Fans of Jacques Becker will like it but a young person who wants to discover this great French director should pick up one of his four towering achievements:"Casque D'or" "Goupi Mains ROuges" "rendezvous De Juillet" and "Le Trou". "Rue De L'Estrapade" is a curious patchwork:it includes snatches of previous works :the chic world of fashion ("Falbalas" ) ,a little walk in the popular town ("Antoine Et Antoinette" ) Amorous Quarrel ("Edouard Et Caroline" ).If only he had borrowed from his three early major works ("Casque D'Or" ,"Rendez-Vous De Juillet" "Goupi Mains Rouges" ).It's pleasant enough with a nice appearance -at the 46th minute- by Daniel Gelin as a singer short of the readies performing Georges Brassens' lovely "Le Parapluie". After a masterpiece such as "Casque D'Or" ,one of the peaks of the French cinema,anything would be a let down.Becker did not even try.His "Rue DE L'Estrapade" ,with the exception of his debut ("Dernier Atout" ) was his weakest film then.He was to sink lower with "Arsene Lupin" and his dismal "Ali Baba" -Fernandel in the title role!- before coming up with aces for his final -and perhaps most ambitious- chef d'oeuvre "Le Trou" ,maybe the best prison movie ever done. “An ambling gangster picture polished to a high gloss."Estrapade" (Estrapado) was a horrible torture which I'm not going to depict here.The word sounds like "escapade" which means " gentle runaway".And "Rue De L'Escapade " was tailor made for such a movie,for the wife (A beaming Anne Vernon) ,tired of her husband's (handsome Louis Jourdan) infidelities ,runs away from marital home and rents a seedy tiny apartment in the working-class area of the city. Its final scene offers one of the greatest, most bitterly poignant touches of face-saving deception in the history of cinema.” One of the great movies about male friendship its central sequence is a domestic one that presents the earnest rituals of friendship-involving pâté and biscuits, pajamas and toothbrushes -as a setting for life-changing, identity-shattering confidences. “A post-heist film that’s also a story of friendship-and of aging. The film was hugely influential, setting the tone of French policiers for years to come.” “GRISBI contains plenty of the requisite genre elements-double-crossings, violence, kidnappings, gun battles, and the like-but it’s also a pensive meditation on age, friendship, and lost opportunities. Set the rules for the great sequence of underworld movies from Jean-Pierre Melville that followed.” Its well-earned success focused on Max the Liar (Jean Gabin) growing old, his weariness, his first pair of reading glasses, the little habits, the good restaurants, the pleasant absorption of a tired-out hooligan who dreams about retiring into middle-class respectability.” “The beauty of the characters in GRISBI comes from their quietness, from the economy of their movements. “A poignant look at friendship, honor and betrayal among thieves.” 100 TOMATOMTRE Moyenne 8.
