Trivia
The story of this film takes place in only one night, and as far as the first night of shooting was rainy and the others were not, the crew had to water streets and pavements to give the true illusion of the one night story.

A FLAWLESS terrific true noir, reminiscent of French New Wave

A FLAWLESS terrific noir, dark and shiny, with a hard-as-nails cop on his rounds one night. Very reminiscent of French New Wave style of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The characters are well-defined and true to life. Both cops and mobsters have depth, with terrific casting and acting, and some moments of spontaneous humour.

A gem, must see.
