Le dernier diamant

A French heist and romance drama; A story about a former convict on parole who is tempted into committing one last job by his former partner-in-crime, but the con artist becomes enamored of the woman he is trying to con. This a confidently executed, humorous drama, meticulously staged, with good cinematography and a brassy, jazzy musical score. However, it is an old-school heist story, inessential, with a plot that gets progressively contrived. While the two leads give good performances, which transcend the superficial script, there's not much chemistry between the two leads about their romantic liaison.
