Dassin was a great director, before <em>Rififi</em> he'd made <em>Night and the City</em> and there followed later <em>Topkapi</em>. I agree, the lengthy silent scene is awesome and you are gripped all the way through it. The film also conveys a great unity between the gang carrying out the heist. Servais is great in probably the most notable role of his career other than his work with Luis Buñuel. If you liked this little gem of a heist movie, then you'll also probably love <em>Le Clan des Siciliens</em> by Henri Verneuil, starring the ever so cool Alain Delon, the legends Jean Gabin, Lino Ventura and the music by Ennio Morricone.
