Le Rouge Est Mis plot

"The master plan - the split-second timing - the unexpected flaw...the crime that shocked Paris!"

Louis Bertain is a garage owner whose business only serves as a cover. Louis and his companions live a normal life during the day and pretend to be good citizens but go on a thief's trail at night. But things take a dramatic turn when one of them thinks Louis' younger brother is a snitch.

In those years you could easily find Jean Gabin in a character with a double life, as in this "Le Rouge est mis".

Like a film noir, with Annie Girardot in the role of the femme fatale and as a wedge between the two Bertain brothers.

The brotherhood and the care for the mother, by the way, form the domestic aspect of the film, in contrast to the dishonest to the point of criminality.

Solid work by Gilles Grangier. Neat build-up and tension and a bunch of remarkable actors. In addition to Gabin and Girardot, Lino Ventura as the tough, ruthless member of the company and Marcel Bozzuffi, who prefers to appear in crime films but has different priorities here.

Film noir the French way. With Lino Ventura and Jean Gabin, among others, we are watching a cast that always delivers. This crime drama also suits them like a glove. The most important female role is reserved for Annie Girardot, who plays a bit of a femme fatale. All this has been well depicted by Grangier and his team. You can't really find anything wrong with this. It may not be a top classic, but it is nevertheless real quality with craftsmanship at every level.
