After hiding out in Milan for years, crime boss Abel Davros (Ventura) is determined to return to France--even though he's been given a death sentence there in his absence. Along with his young guardian (Belmondo), Abel encounters old faces and new deceptions in the Parisian underworld. Though there's plenty of chases, shoot-outs, and tough-guy dialogue, the greatness of CLASSE TOUS RISQUES lies in its rich performances and the carefully drawn friendship between the leads. Neglected upon its initial release--and championed by directors John Woo, Bernard Travenier, and Jean-Pierre Melville--Claude Sautet's French noir is a worthy candidate for rediscovery. [More]
