Le Deuxieme Souffle (Second Wind)

dir. Jean-Pierre Melville
France, 1966

Great piece of Melville cool, lots of macs, hats, guns held at right angles to the body. A good heist scene in the chilly scrub of hills above Marseille, and a strange pronouncement on the police's moral code in a title card before the film starts. And Lino Ventura's stubby face...
