Nov. ’63 Exhibitors who recall “Rififi,” the French suspense drama which fascinated audiences and was a boxoffice winner in the art spots in 1956, will find this Jacques Bar production similar in theme but equally exciting — and with two of France’s top stars, the veteran Jean Gabin and the handsome young Alain Delon, currently starring in “The Leopard,” for strong marquee value. One of the current top-grossers in France, the French-language film is certain to be a smash in class houses in the U. S. Brilliantly directed by Henri Verneuil, who did the adaptation with Albert Simonin and Michel Audiard from a novel by John Trinian, the picture builds steadily through all the preparatory work toward a “sure-fire” robbery of the Cannes gambling casino, followed by a half-hour of excruciating suspense during the split-second timing of the actual crime — and then a magnificently ironic ending which again proves that “crime does not pay.” All this is photographed against the lush backgrounds of the Riviera beaches and the Casino Theatre, where beautiful girls cavort in scanty costumes. Gabin does his customary expert acting job, aided by Delon, who also participates in some romantic dallying with Carla Marlier, and Maurice Biraud, as a nervous accomplice. Vivian Romance, French star of two decades ago, makes a screen return as Gabin’s patient wife. Moviegoers should be cautioned not to reveal the surprise ending. Jean Gabin, Alain Delon, Viviane Romance, Maurice Biraud, Carla Marlier, Jose De Villalonga. The Steppe Ratio: Period Drama 1.85-1 © Royal Films Int’l 100 Minutes Rel. Oct. ’63 Like a long, leisurely visit to an art gallery, this Italian-French coproduction based on the novel by the Russian Anton Chekhov and mostly filmed in Yugoslavia is a magnificent pictorial experience even if the proceedings are slow-moving and comparatively unexciting. But the Chekhov name, plus that of the noted director Alberto Lattuada, will have draw in the art spots, where Marina Vlady, currently starring in “The Conjugal Bed,” and Charles Vanel also will be of value. The Eastman Color photography by Enzo Serafin captures superb vistas of the fields, the rivers, the farming villages and the bazaars, feasts and rituals, all with the feel of the late 19th century as seen through the eyes of a small boy traveling through the Russian steppe to school in the city. En route, he encounters homeless wagon drivers who spear fish and eat them raw, farm workers who dance at the village fair, a dying man and a violent storm which causes him to fall ill. All of the background is fascinating to behold but the spectator rarely becomes involved in the story. Daniel Spallone is wholesomely natural as the boy and Vanel is splendid, as always, as a kindly, bearded priest. A big, blond brute named Dimov plays himself in lustv fashion as he makes love to a river girl, played by Cristina Gajoni. Miss Vlady, a vision in rich costumes, is seen only briefly. Produced by Morris Ergas in Italian with English subtitles. Charles Vanel, Marina Vlady, Daniel Spallone, Cristina Gajoni, Pavlo Vuisic, Dimov.
