After he was blacklisted, American crime master Jules Dassin booked a one-way trip across the Atlantic. He stopped first in London to direct the stellar Night and the City in 1950 and next in Paris, the glorious setting of this brute classic in which four thieves (including the alias-using director) lend their genre-given talents to rob a bling shop in the Rue de Rivoli. With a possible remake in the near-future featuring Al "Shout Out Loud" Pacino, this noir touchstone deserves a return, especially for the half-hour of monastic silence that paces the elaborate heist.
