Le Rouge est mis
1957 Crime / Thriller
Review
Jean Gabin and Lino Ventura are reunited for the fourth time in as many years in this
standard 1950s French thriller. The film was based on a novel by the popular série
noir writer Auguste Le Breton, whose works were frequently adapated for French cinema.
The characters, the scenario and the dialogue is all familiar stuff, film noir by numbers,
but it was a very popular formula at the time.
