The film is made of elements Melville said he came to love in the B&W American crime movies of the 1930s: shadows, night, trench coats, guns, tough guys, cigarettes, slinky dames, cocktail bars, crooked cops, betrayal, loot and a plot shutting out the world and confining the characters within their own lives and space. "Le Doulos" looks gorgeous in the newly restored 35mm print by Rialto Pictures, which will no doubt issue it on DVD.
