A pianist in a Paris bar is drawn into his brothers' crimes.

Sinekatalog’s take

François Truffaut's playful riff on American crime films is quirky, melancholy and full of New Wave energy. Charles Aznavour is touching, and the film's shifts of tone make it a joyful oddity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
