"In exile, blacklisted director Jules Dassin crafted one of the early cornerstones of the heist genre. The film is famed for its 30 minute silent, almost breathless, heist sequence. Outlawed for years in France because authorities thought it was too much of a “how to” manual for high line burglary. "
