1. – George Rigaud, Du rififi chez les femmes (US: Riff Raff Girls), France-Italy, 1959. B-movie relisateur Alex Joffé wanted his Marquis played by the blacklisted Hollywood auteur (ex-Hitchcock assistant and sometime actor). Of course, he did. Dassin had put the very word, rififi, into cinema language four years before with his classic heist movie, Du rifi chez les hommes – or plain Rififi in the UK – in 1955.
