Les caïds

Patrick Bouchitey murders his wife and lover. He takes refuge with Serge Reggiani. Regianni and his partner, Jean Bouise, work for a stunt driving company. In between those gigs, they rob banks. Bouise has a daughter, Juliet Berto. She and Bouchitey fall in love. Meanwhile, a bank job that Regianni and Bouise are on goes bad. Bouise dies, Regianni, Bouchitey, and Mlle Berto go on the run, with a mix of sympathetic crooks and betrayal on their paths.

It's the far end of the moral crooks of Auguste Le Breton and Jean-Pierre Melville. While students are rioting for justice, ordinary decent crooks can't catch a break in this movie that suggests a lot of other movies. Will any of them get away and land in the land of dream-time, Australia?
