Reviews and Quotes 2

"STUNNING!"
— New York Magazine

"Film noir is a French coinage but France's homegrown crime movies, a staple of the 1950s and early '60s, seldom get their due in the United States, however first-rate they might be. Case in point: Claude Sautet's 1960 slam dunk Classe Tous Risques."
— J. Hoberman, The New York Times

"A BURIED TREASURE...the most soulful and sympathetic of crime dramas!"
— Jan Stuart, Newsday
