Lino Ventura carries this gangster movie very good as career criminal who after robbing two people got chased by the police with his partner and in the shootout his wife and partner get killed, leaving him alone with his two kids. With help of his old friends he manages to put kids in safe place while he tries to escape from the police from experienced thief, but as most of his efforts fade away and his new partner is caught, he realizes there is no escape from him, so he give the rest of his money to bail out his friend and is soon caught, convicted and hanged. Unlike most movies this does not have happy ending and that is a plus in my book.
