Drei Milliarden ohne Lift

It could be compared with the recent films, including one starring Michael Caine and Tom Courtenay, about a bunch of old timers and petty hoods who carried away a jewel bullion after a major heist; comedies too. Very typical from the early seventies, music score, settings,atmosphere, acting, dialogue. Of course it is voluntarily clumsy, tongue in cheek. Yes, despite this we have here a excellent nostalgia feature also speaking of the destruction of old mansions and buildings of near Paris suburb; a kind of lost era. We see caterpillars, bulldozers in work, as we also watched in the movie LE CHAT, made at the same time, starring Jean Gabin and Simone Signoret, a movie also taking place in the very same district; Courbevoie, now the setting of La Defense district, the equivalent of Los Angeles Century City; only big business, huge companies, buildings that replaced the old districts. Listen to the music, so typical from this period, my childhood.
